Am I going to hell??

Post by Candyman »

The other day I ran into a guy that had gotten a DWI and was in need of money.
He had a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in 357 Mag. that he wanted to sale. I offered $60 because It was ugly and he said yes.

It's a little rusty and missing the rear sight blade and has some ugly grips. Other the that the gun is in great shape.

Oh! I did give the guy a little advise when it comes to drinking and driving. " Beer taste better in a La-Z-Boy."
Do not relish to feel what the men that used these weapons felt when they saw the elephant. For the elephant has tusk and to see him is to have his tusk dig deep into your soul. You will always have a part of you that will be cold and empty.

Soak in some Ballistol/initial scrub/boil in moose milk, and fix the sights and wear well.

If it can be stabilized at all, I wouldn't refinish, but that may not be possible in your climate.

It does look like it's been riding the felon circuit/was found in a swamp...

Yes, yes you are. But as part of building my spiritual Karma I will reluctantly take it off your hands in order to transfer your sin to me at no extra charge. :D

The rust is not bad, no pitting, just surface.
I'm going to use a Electrolysis Tank to remove the rust. I don't have plans to refinish it at this time. I will depend on what it looks like once it is cleaned up.

Randy, Thanks for the offer, but I think I will hang on to my sin for a while.

Out of simple curiosity, is there a reason to not Cerakote it?

That might not look too bad blasted/hard chromed, or something.

Thou must do penance by restoring it to the best of your abilities, and burning that grip in a sacrificial fire.
Buy ammunition and magazines.

You'll shoot your eye out!

Another blog.

You're not, but whoever installed those grips has a good chance, IMHO.
