I agree with this. My current carry revolver is a very neglected Model 36 with a 3 inch bbl that I picked up recently for $180. It had been stored - for years, I presume - in a very wrong environment that had allowed it to rust. Not much rust in the lockwork, however, and none in the bore.
I tried to clean it up with bronze wool and kroil, but it was too far gone and pitted, so I just took some 220 grit emory cloth and it took the rust right off. It's nice to have a great quality and reliable model 36 that I don't worry about scratching when I carry.
Gun works great - a testimony to a good quality revolver's tolerance of neglect.
