Back Home but needs Help
I had 2 handguns stolen from my home back in December 2011. In October of 2017 I received a call from my local police telling me to call Philadelphia police. I called and they told me they had recovered my 357. This was the gun I really wanted back because it was given to me when my father passed away back in 1988. We drove the 4 hour trip to Philadelphia yesterday to retrieve the gun. Needless to say the gun was never taken care of in the 6 years it had been missing, I was able to remove a lot of rust with hoppes#9 but it looks pitted in some places and the tip of the barrel looks chipped down to the metal. Is there something I can do or have done to make it look good again or should I just be happy to have it back and just live with it? I will try to attach pictures.
In a later post on this thread I posted that I had decided to have the M19 finished with cerakote. I called Ford today and changed my mind. For about the same money I can have it restored as close to original as possible. Then it will look much like the K-22 (I added a few pics below). The M19 was in the same shape as the K-22 when it was stolen
