Does anyone know of a gunsmith in SD that will do hot blueing on a S&W revolver???

I recently took a revolver to Ahlman's in Morristown, MN, and am HIGHLY disappointed in their work. I have an excellent condition 29-3 (mnfr in 1986) that had patches of plum and a milky haze around the frame. Ahlman's is 3 hours away from Sioux Falls, so I gave them a shot...

I'm still waiting to hear back from them to see how they're going to address the issue...

You could check with Stern in Bruce. It's been a while since I've talked to him so I don't know what his wait time is like. Don't know for sure he does blueing but it's worth a try.

I bet Matt at Teton River Trader in Pierre can do it. I have not had a gun blued by him but I’m pretty sure he does it and I’ve had other work done by him and been well satisfied.
