Ice,

Thanks. We'll see. Where in Texas are you?

Depends on what you call restoration-I think the very best I can hope for is minor pitting only under the grip panels-if so I can do a good quality cold blue. I've done that before on an M44 and it turned out really well-using a dish detergent w/ phosphate really helps to set up the bluing.

Question for the field: can I replicate straw with a cold blue (OxphoBlue or blue wonder, likely), or is it limited to hot or rust bluing??
