Compare the bluing on the ones Toroflow and SB posted to this one produced in 1978.
The cylinder and barrel almost looked like the metallic blue paint that came on the same vintage GM pickups and cars and faded and flaked off.


I knew the ramifications of having it re-blued, but I couldn't stand it the way it was and sent it back to S&W for a re-bluing.


It's mo betta now..
 
Bob K,
This gun is a shooter, I just couldn't be and told S&W that I couldn't be proud of the gun the way it was. They did a nice job with it and now I can shoot it or show it off with typical S&W pride.

I got it at a good price in a pawn shop, so even with the additional cost of the refinish, I'm in it cheaper than buying a nicer one.
