Re: Refinishing in Houston Area?

Briley in Houston does traditional finishes such as blueing, parkerizing and chrome as well as some of the more modern ones such as electroless nickel and teflon.

I had taken a former boss' rifles to Briley to have them re-blued, but I did not pick them up when it was complete so I can't speak on the quality of their service. I never got to see the rifles after either (see 'former' boss). Though he sounded pleased with the service, he isn't much of a gun person. They were semi-old family heirlooms that began to rust, he had me research a place in Houston that could re-finish the rifles for him and I stumbled upon Briley. The turnaround was about a month and a half. They offer many custom/gunsmithing services as well as re-finish, so I thought the month and a half wasn't bad at all.

They have a storefront on the west Beltway near I-10 that sells shotguns and hunting apparel/accessories.

As for DuraCoat, try contacting Dale at gripreductions.com. I have never had work done by them, but their DuraCoat pricing was fair when I was in the market. I ended up doing a DuraCoat job myself which costed about $60 and I didn't do a very good job. I think Dale charges $50 per color (and a pattern fee if you want an intricate design). GripReductions has a storefront in Cypress, TX from what I was told.
