I recently purchased a Ruger Super Black hawk second hand from an older gentleman. It didn't have the front sight. A quick call to Ruger, and they sent me a replacement for free!!
It quite obviously gets silver soldered on. My question is, how much should I expect to pay to get this done? Will it damage the original blueing, necessitating refinishing?
I've been quoted from $20 to $75 from 3 different gunsmiths in my area. HELP!!! All have said that they will silver solder it back on, but only one of them said that it would need refinishing, one said not, and the other said "HUH?".
HELP!!
Thanks,
Tom
