Got a bit brave with this one. Gun was very dirty, which probably means years of storage. Took it completely apart and cleaned each piece. Before reassembly, I polished the internals for a poor man's trigger job. The gripframe was bent and I think an easy fix. But, to abbreviate this job, I just want back with a spare one.
The sight was so dirty it wouldn't adjust. So I took it apart and soaked in alcohol. Modified a N.M. White Outlined Rear Sight Blade to work in the original sight.
Cleaned all the rubbed areas of blue and touched them up to reveal a true diamond in the rough.
I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase. Once I get the gripframe and ERH Cerakoted, I'd give the gun a 97-98% Condition. Hard to ask for more on a gun of this age.
