MODEL 15 RESURRECTIONS

[dvanncvann]

Both of these were in horrible shape when I obtained them. The 4" was parked and the 2" was a rust bucket. Both were stripped, bead blasted and rust blued with Mike Lees Express #1. I am really happy with the way they came out considering the condition they were in. 4" is a 15-3 and the 2" is a 15-4. I added a target hammer and smoothed the trigger on the 4". Trigger was also smoothed on the 2". The Express rust blue was really simple to use. I have about 4 hours actual bluing time in each of them. Each one received 6 treatments.

Looking good! Its hard not to love a 15 of any barrel length, or condition. My Cousin does that rust blue, and has blued several things for me. Not sure what brand he uses, but it does nice work.

Just curious, any idea as to provenance, given their condition? Police turn-ins perhaps?

The 4" was carried by an officer for 20 years so the story goes. I bought off of GB.
The 2" was purchased from Century Arms so probably a police turn in.

Here is my Model 67 no dash. (Same as 15 except it is stainless steel.)
When I bought it way back when (2015) It had lots of pits and scratches
so I had it bead blasted by a local smith. I like the contrast of the black
Spegel designed UM grips.

Nicely done, I like that finish.
