Careful Fin, last time I was there there was a bullet hole in the couch I slept on.

Perhaps.

At least you didn't get handcuffed to the cistern. Come to think of it, is that rust or blood?

Hard to say.

"The blood of 100 sacrifices must be given at Millman's cistern before the coming of the 5th age of man."

Or so I have read in the Holy Tome.

I LOVE that gun looking just the way it does. Thats excellent.

I say let millman give it a go.

What, rebluing the Ruger, or ushering in the 5th age of Man?

We decided to reblue. I have been shooting it, but it is about to be disassembled and prepped.

Update. After way too long, this pistol is on the verge of being finished. It just needs it's new springs, and reassembly. Thanks for being patient Chuck. I think you will be pleased.

Happy? Very happy. Happy, happy, happy!! Now my other firearms will no longer make it sit by itself at lunch. Thanks Erik you did an outstanding job on this poor baby.

Nice work, Millman. Let me know when you graduate from Magician to Wizard:

That is a perfect truck gun millman and a nice job on the finish, I have been looking for a new truck gun also, my last one was swept up in a deal, hard to find them working good with ruined finishes.
I'm thinking about a little cold blue on this one.

Where'd you find that, the bottom of Lake Havasu?

finloq; The pitting on that Smith makes it a good candidate for Cerakote or Duracoat. (Cerakote would cover/fill the pits better.) What caliber is that?; looks like it could be a .32-20.

Nice job Millman!!

Fin, that S&W looks to be beyond my skill level. I'll let you know when I hit Wizard status. ET, that one is beyond Wizard level. Actually LC's pistol wasn't hard. Just disassemble, sandblast the parts to refinish, and send it out with a batch of machine parts going to the black oxide place. K&I Hardchrome in New Albany IN is the place we send our stuff to. They do nice work.
The new springs are in the pistol now, so it is just a matter of putting it all back together. I am gonna have to watch the how to video, as I can't seem to remember, how all of the internals fit together.

32-20, 1921

Found it 20 years ago on top of the boiler of a historic house I was helping clean out in before the house was moved for the 125 freeway in lemon Grove California. The house was on top of a hill, originally there was a basement with a garage and utility rooms, none of that moved, only the original house, this is where I found it more or less, in the orginal boiler room before the house was moved to a park.
