The topic of Samco "no bluing" 98/29 Persian Mausers seems to be hot on a few milsurp forums right now. A few years ago I bought three of them with the intention of having them refinished. I've had two of them reblued and had the stocks refinished and am getting ready to send off the remaining one.
I've already posted pics of the first one that came back here:

I figured now is a good time to post pics of the other one that I had refinished:

This is what the rifles looked like when they arrived from Samco;
