The frontier pads that I ordered from a guy in north dakota, I think, are better than steel wool, will take off rust and not harm even good blue. They look like a dish washing scouring pad.

Big 45 frontier rust removal pads, look them up, really work, will not harm blue.

Zero end shake, crane shake, and cylinder shake is far more important to me than superficial rust.

After all these posts agonizing with your fellow S&W aficionados over this great revolver, you might have a "Dang, it's gone!" epiphany when you return. If you want it, get it now. Please.
I'm just doing a Kramer (as in Seinfeld.) Seeing how far I can get on a tank of gas!

Of course, you don't have to buy it. There is always another gun that comes along. Like I said, I would be tempted to go ahead and pay their asking price if I didn't already have a couple in more or less the same condition.
I would pay the money, take it home and start tinkering with it. A bit of love goes a long way. If it was here, or nearby, you would miss out. LOL! They seldom show up here in any condition. And I kinda like them that way, as weird as that sounds. I have owned pristine blued guns, and I always worry about dinging them when I'm out shooting or hunting, and I usually end up selling them. One that is "already dinged" just suits my style better. I'm not a collector. I'm an accumulator. And I use my guns.
I wish I knew where that one was..............

There'll always be some evidence of the rust remaining on it no matter what you use to remove it. Especially on the stuff that's within the sandblaster finished areas.
There's some pretty good rust patches and spots on that gun. I've cleaned 100's of them up over the years and some come out pretty spectacular, others not so much.
The all important mechanics sound good.
At this point you just put a price on it and it either becomes yours or not.
If $25 one way or the other becomes the issue,,then I figure there's either too much about the gun that bothers the buyer or it's more about the game of buy & sell than wanting the to own that particular gun.
Folks pay that much at the BurgerKing counter for a fabulous dinner for 4 and think nothing of it.

I was expecting much worse. I think you would be very surprised how good that one would look after just a bit of TCL.

It's a project gun. Pay what you think is right for it.
Serial number will be on the butt.

I would be buy it at $400, but then I am a sucker for N frames. To me it would be an ideal starting point to make into a big bore. Like I need another 45 colt LOL. But, thats what I always see when I see a old N frame with issues.
