He's not in Deer Park, but Mel Doyle in Plummer does excellent work at a very reasonable price. I think it was $90 to remove some rust on my Remington 1100 & reblue the entire gun. i can't even tell that it's been redone. He has done 3 or 4 different projects for me. the number is 208 686-1006.
Always looking for 7mm Mauser & 10mm brass.

If you're willing to drive down to Deer Park...

North Spokane is just a few more miles.

It's worth a little driving to get the best work for the best prices. Firearms Finishing did an old Belgian Browning for me and they did an incredible job. Mel Doyle is good too and worth the drive in the other direction. My brother had Mel shorten and re-blue a Super Blackhawk last summer and it was an excuse for him to take his newly rebuilt 1936 Harley Flathead 80 for a drive and he drove there from Cheney and dropped it off and went back in a week and picked it up.

To expect to find a really good gunsmith in a neighborhood near you as if it were a 7-11 or a Safeway or a McDonald's is not a realistic expectation and in many parts of the country there isn't a decent gunsmith for hundreds of miles and people in those places have no choice but to ship their guns elsewhere to have work done to them.

Thank to all of you guys,
I settled on Firearms Finishing. Getting to damn old to run into Spokane whenever the notion strikes but that's why Fed Ex & UPS have truck drivers
Again Thank You

+1 on FF. Also, when I was in Mel's shop a few years ago I saw gun boxes w/ addresses from the east coast. His name has gotten around.
