Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I have a 1866 trap door... and if you can believe it.. it was re blued. not looking to sell ..would like to know how bad the bluing damages the value tho'.. I have pix on Flickr under desertsun69... if anyone would like to see them.. also two other guns there.. a Rem. .22 rolling block model 4 S..and and a Stevens .22 model 44.. I will repeat... not for sale!
I'm not much of a computer user, and would have to be led around by the hand to do any cut/paste to get pix on here. sorry
larry
I guess no one can get to the pix... I set it up to be public... strange... try something else...sorry

I figure re-bluing cuts the value by at least 50% - maybe more if it's been badly buffed. It can amount to hundreds of dollars on an historical arm.

I'm not as sharp at google-fu as Mario... I tried to find info about buff - n - blue and only got this:

I should probably use a different search engine than Acme.

Yes, welcome. :welcome:

Contrary to what you may have heard, we actually have serious discussions here - Normally on Thurs evenings after 2.5 men. :crzy:

There is nothing wrong with your search engine sir.
