Although my pictures don't show it, the re-blueing of the barrel was a real surprise! Eric managed to buff out the only ding I had on the left side of the barrel, and his blueing looks as good as factory!
I will be dealing with this gentleman again.... and soon!!
DOH!!! Of course it is... since I have a number of the 3rd gen pistols I'm so used to thinking in terms of the barrel being inside the slide that I forgot the M41 is a much different animal.
Chalk it up to being star struck with that work. I just emailed Eric about having mine done too.
