One of the guys that comes to the NE Ohio Bunch had them weld up a rust spot on one of his guns. He had to file the welds himself and cold blue it. Came out nice. Just an idea.

Larry and Guy,
Neither of your guns can be polished and reblued, the pitting is way too deep. The reason S&W won't work on them; they would only replace the barrels and cyl if they had them.
Micro welding is the only option and it works very well!
Then I'd send them for a Carbonia Refinish: See post #12 for example here:

In fact, they may do or have their own source for micro welding.
