I purchased a Ithica 10 ga the other day that's in bad shape, it has been spray painted and then stripped. I was going to cold blue the barrel and then re stain the wood but now I am torn between that or just getting it dipped. I don't think the barrel was ever blued but I'm not familiar with different finishes or options for new finishes to be honest. I just want this gun to be nice again. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
