S&W Model 15 - Corroded

I'll agree with most of the other posters and say "leave it alone and shoot it". You can use it as you see fit and never worry about it. I would, however, recommend a complete tear down and cleaning with particular attention paid to the internal parts.

If you're handy, this would make a great project gun. It's fun work if you enjoy that sort of thing, and doesn't cost a lot of money doing the work yourself.

I found an old and badly neglected Colt 1903 Hammerless in 380 years ago, and did exactly that. It will never be a prom queen, and never have any value to anyone but me, but it's solid, shoots well, and it gave me a chance to try my hand at rust bluing.

That's quite the save!
