In 2006 I sent a gun to S&W for refinishing. I had bought a 13-3 imported police surplus revolver with a 3 inch barrel. At the time they could be had for 290$. When I received the thing it looked terrible. Dings and scratches everywhere. The bolt stop would not drop sometimes blocking the cylinder rotation. I asked for repair and refinish. It took 3 or 4 months to get done as the polisher was retiring or on vacation or something. I was very pleased. 18$ to repair, 166$ to refinish, and 80$ shipping. Excepting the near 600$ invested in a 300$ gun. I probably will not buy a surplus revolver or have one refinished again.




I adjusted the exposure and size on this pic.
