Local who can reblue and refurbish a 336 Marlin?

[MRH]

Like the title states, does anyone know a local gunsmith or pro who refurbishes and reblues rifles, particularly a Marlin 336? Thanks

Edit: by local I mean metro ATL. I travel east to west often, so Covington to Carrollton is fine. It doesn't matter where as long as it is a reasonable distance.

Are you specifically looking to refurbish the rifle back to factory condition? Or looking to clean it up and get it proper for use?

It just needs reblueing because the original finish is almost completely gone. The gun functions fine. The wood is OK, but it could be better, of course. I'm mostly concerned with the blueing.

Not sure about blueing, but if you want to bring the rifle back to long term usable ready, I'd look at some of fat alberts work. Have it cerakoted with the shade of black you like best, and be done with it. He's got some nice looking pics on his Facebook page of a 336. And I can recommend his work for sure.
As far as the stocks go, just sand them down and refinish them at home while the steel is in the cerakote shop. It's not that hard, and adds some personal pride in the refurbishment process.
Just a thought....
I prefer cerakote over blue on just about anything, after having some stuff cerakoted.

I can recommend 10-8 gun works, there in northwest GA, in Rome specifically. They did the cerekote on this rifle for me.
I did the wood. I would recommend not getting too heavy handed with the wood, it's very easy to over sand. I would actually say less is more on an older rifle. You can't replicate natural wear, once you refinish it, you can't go back.

I appreciate it, I wasn't sure if I would like it but the original bluing had a few issues that needed attention. I normally leave older rifles alone but this was a newer gun so It didn't bother me as much to alter it. I like the been there done that look if the gun was taken care of, it's different if the wear was caused by neglect though.

What's the cerekote colors on that rifle?
