Anyone near Las Cruces, El Paso, Roswell, or Albuquerque still do hot bluing? I need a barrel and action blued.

I've had rather a lot of work done by him, and have never been disappointed in any way. Tell him Erich Martell sends regards.

Thanks for the help Erich, he doesn't do hot bluing, but he does do rust bluing, which may work out for me.

I need to add a big "+1" on Sam Damewood. Erich referred him to me a year or so ago for some gun work and I am very happy with the results. Sam is truly an artist and is great to deal with! The S&W M-65 on Sam's website is mine that he cut down the barrel from 4" to 3", installed a new front sight and finally converted the square butt grip to a round butt. Here is another shot of the final product:
