I love getting bargain basement pistols and making them into beauties; unfortunately, my bid amount is always $5 short. Looking forward to the restoration.

When I saw the "M"5906 in the title I first thought BMCM was treading into Melonite finishes - wouldn't that be something... OK I just read thread "Slide Finish suggestions" and BMCM does offer nitrided coating through H&M Metal Processing.
