I've had Bachelders refinish several Damascus barrels for me in black & white. I'm very pleased with every one of them and normally would recommend Bachelders in a heartbeat.
I do have to throw in a caveat though. Brad Bachelder passed away earlier this year. I believe his son Parker has taken the reins for running the gunsmithing business. Parker has been involved with doing the Black & White finishing when Brad was running the show so his work should live up to Bachelders well earned reputation. I personally haven't seen any of the work out of Bachelders since Brad's death, but have been thinking of sending them a set of barrels as a test to see if they are still hitting the high bar set by Brad.
If it were me. I would call Bachelders and ask to talk to Parker, then make my decision to send him my barrels based on my feelings from the conversation.
