There is a pretty good deal on a Ruger Blackhawk down at a local gunstore in town, but the finish on it is pretty much shot. I've been considering buying it to refinish, I realize that the triggerguard and backstrap are both aluminum, I would replace these with aftermarket steel parts, but what kind of steel does Ruger make it's frames out of? I'm thinking of doing a rust blue on it, but I'm not anxious of having any surprises after I start the process, so if anybody has any insights into this work I'd appreciate the information. Thanks.
