I just bought a old High Standard model B 22lr w/ 6" barrel. The finish on the frame is pretty good, but the finish on the barrel is pretty bad. There is a lot of rust spots on one side of the barrel, like it sat in a moist holster and rusted the one side.
Should I get this gun refinished? What will it do to the value of the gun...even though it can't be worth too much to begin with. I only paid $150 for it...but it is a nice old 22 that was made in the 1930's.
Can I just get the barrel refinished or will the whole gun need to be done...how much should a re-blue cost?
Also, anyone know who does a good job at re-bluing an old gun?
