Gotcha. Not sure if you saw the pics but the bluing is pretty totaled on this 1908 Colt. Figured either do a re-blue or do a DIY by removing the bluing using white vinegar and then polishing the bare metal up.If you can run smittzoid down, get some of his magic cloths.
Removes oxidation without damaging the bluing and I've cleaned up some nasty comblocs with them.
Works better than anything I've ever tried on metals.
Haven't seen him online in a while, hope he is holding up.
Or just take it to a gunsmith and pay a small fee
