What do you think - some steel wool and Breakfree ought to clear that up?

Is it still good under the grips? :uhoh:

[Jim Watson]

Looks like a Turnbull project.

And be sure to send off for a factory letter... if you can figure out what factory it came out of.

[Duke of Doubt]

Good grief.

I've seen less rust on stuff lying around at Verdun.

That barrel pitting -- I've never seen anything like it.

Did you check to see if it was loaded before you handled it?

[Hostile Amish]

I think you should either:

1) Dump it in the garbage.
2) Dump it in the garbage.
Or:
3) Dump it in the garbage.

Even if I got a revolver like that to look absolutely clean, you couldn't pay me a million bucks to fire it more than once.

Put it on Gunbroker as 99% and "vintage". It's not much worse than some there now.

[BCRider]

That's a helluva lot of trouble to go to for deactivating it... :D

[Pork Fat]

If you refinish it, it will lose 50% of it's collector's value.

[Duke of Doubt]

It IS quite a pattern of blood pitting.

Clearly a battlefield pickup.

[rcmodel]

A little CLP or a Dremel should clean it right up!

Looks like a Young American .32. Bet it's still loaded!

Probably an irrigation ditch or pond find. Very alkaline environment, wherever it was.

It would look good on a plaque.

Be sure that the steel wool you use is #0000. You don't want to risk harming the finish.

When did you go dive on the wreck of the Titanic??

[bonza]

Haven't you ever heard of 'patina'?

[Duke of Doubt]

The guns on the Titanic are in better shape. Low-oxygen depths.

[messerist]

I was wondering what happened to that revolver that fell out of my holster and down the stool!;)

[20nickels]

You should really clean the once in a while.

[Anna's Dad]

I'll be that thing has a beast of a trigger pull.

[DrLaw]

I've got a better idea. Take it to one of those clown cities that will give you $100.00 for it! :evil:

The Doc is out now. :cool:

[DRYHUMOR]

Sell the grips and throw in the pistol for free.

[finfanatic]

Hope the warranty is still good. :)

[AirForceShooter]

If the bore is bright and shiney I'd give it a once over with steel wool and it's good to go.

[ArchAngelCD]

WOW!!! ;)

[Iggy]

Gun turn in candidate.:evil:

Id say that would make one heck of a cool wall hanger.

[XavierBreath]

Little bit of bondo, a little latex paint........ All ready for the next gun show!

Yep. One of those "carried lots, shot little" specials.

[skeet king]

It probably has a rich history and someday may hold great memories and sentimentel value, but......

that things a piece of crap

[Jim K]

If all the extravagant claims made for Breakfree are true, a couple of drops should have that gun in like new condition in no time.

Sell it on Ebay , claim that it belonged to Jessie James, and you just found it when you were planting corn.
