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??

I live near Houston. The straw blueing sticky is excellent. Youtube has an interesting video on coloring gun parts with nitre blueing salts. Depending on temp you can get a straw color with that method too. The stick method here is much safer though IMHO.
