Buffed, Reblued, Boosted - Need Advice

unspellable · 08-18-2002, 12:47 PM

It is true that there are chemical processes for removing bluing. But you don't get them done for free and they don't restore pitting or wear. So the question remains, why would you reblue a mint condition gun? Is it conceivable that the original bluing can be significantly worn or lost with no signs of pitting, wear, or blemishing on the pistol?

If there are any surface defects on the pistol we are right back to polishing again. And not just any character with a buffing wheel, but some body doing the sort of work Thor does.
