So I picked this up almost a year ago. I posted about if it was worth it or not or if I should get it on a separate thread. Kind of forgot about it until today. What do you guys think I should do with it? Do you think its a good candidate for a refinish or leave as it is?
If I do refinish, it needs:
1. New bold stop (current one is cracked don't want a firing pin where my eye is)
2. Rebore the barrel (completely smooth inside)
3. Somehow get the grips off (screws won't come out)

Thanks,
-Matt

No need to reblue it. Regular reblue won't improve anything. And, professional restoration on this variation does not cover cost. Reline the bore, replace broken parts, etc.
