How bad is it?

has slight rust around the body. I have done a couple of these I had to beat apart with a hammer they were so rusted up. Both are now excellent shooters. I would hesitate to give $500 even $300 is pushing it IMO. I did all my own work..disassembly and rust removal. One I just left it in the white. No sense going to the expense of a good rust blue with all that pitting. Just oil it often and store it properly. Shoot the hell out of it. By the time you pay $500 and get it blued you will have too much in it..it will still be pitted and re blued. Find a better finished pistol with no problems for $800-1000
