Gunsmith recommendation for bluing in NoVA?

My father left me his grandfather's H&R Topper M48 break action 16 gauge before he left for the 2A-unfriendly state of Hawaii. It's in rough shape - he tried one of those bluing kits once and it just made the rust worse. I am thinking of getting it rust blued and with the Thanksgiving Home Disaster of 2012™, I don't have time or the will. Any recommendations?

Have you found anyone yet? Sorry, haven't been around much since July. There's a guy near Gainesville who works on older guns, this should be right up his alley. Call Hatfield's in Manassas, if they can't they'll give you that guy's number. He's old, hard of hearing, but his work is good.
