Shooter P.38 Re-finish

big open · 04-11-2024, 12:02 AM

I have a shooter byf 43 P. 38 that had been re-finished many years ago (1960's I think) and that finish has about 50% remaining now. To have a gunsmith refinish it in my area would run about $100+ today, more than I want to spend. Could someone recommend a good blue removal liquid and a liquid or paste bluing compound I could use to refinish the external surfaces of the P.38 ? The P.38 has all matching numbers through out and the bore is a little rough but not bad. So it is just a shooter piece. I have it in a new desert tan hard shell holster I picked up from Sarco for a good protective home to keep it. Thanks for any suggestions.
