        Filling the rust pits, then giving them a good polishing and blueing would look good.

                it is a metal treatment used on actualy firearms, it is a black oxide finish wich means it is actualy controled rust

                  get them chromed. You ever seen those all chrome pistols that those Marine dudes carry around? those are awesome...

                  I say Nickel finish.

                      Very good looking :) Good job on the project

                      I just restored one this year that was oh six years younger than yours and not in as bad condition.

                      I was pretty much able to salvage the original paint? job on there and polished the areas of operation (as well as the barrel). It's still in working order, but definitely isn't a show piece like those will be :)

                        I'd go with chrome, too. Not only would it look flashy, but you'd get more range, too.

                          So where's this project at these days? I've got an old 007 that needs some TLC. Let me know how much just for the blast and then let's go from there.
