I have a Colt 38 Army special that was my grandfathers. It was totally submerged in saltwater during Hurricane Ike. It was totally rusted by the time I was able to retrieve it. Basically I had to rub all the bluing off with fine steel wool. It seems to work and cycle perfectly.
I am wanting to go ahead and show it some love, and have it reblued/restored. I was looking at Colt's website and it says it could be an 18 month turn-around. Is it worth the wait to let Colt do the job, or are there better alternatives out there? I will never sell this gun due to sentimental reasons, I just want it to look like it did when I inherited it.
Thanks for any suggestions.
