I have received my Grandfather's late fifties J.C. Higgins model 88 .22 revolver from my mother as a birthday gift. I know that this gun has very little monetary value, but to me, it is priceless. The problem is the condition. It has a little rust on the barrel and cylinder, and the blueing is virtually gone from the entire gun. I was considering trying Blue Wonder on the steel parts, but I have no clue what to do with the aluminum frame. I don't have much money to dump into this gun, so a pro job is out of the question, but I want to get the best finish that I can.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach this old snake killer? I'm a greenhorn at blueing, so please go easy on the technical stuff.
Thanks,
Steve.
