I'm looking to trade for a Colt Python. It has very bad rusted and has some pitting. I would like to know what I can do with this. I know Colt can reblue the gun, but could this be beyond what they can do? Any one have a gun done by Colt and what did you think?
My next question is, Is this worth 550 dollars. That's what I will have in it as it sits. It looks like it hasn't been shot very much at all. I'm thinking someone let it sit in a basement for a very long time and just didn't shoot it. The bore is excellent and the cylinder walls are great. It locks up tight and the timing seems good. It has a very nice trigger in both single and double action. It would be a very nice shooter even if it can't be put back to it's original glory.
Even if I have it restored. It still will be a shooter, so I don't need it 100 percent, but I don't want to spend the more to restore it and it look like crap either.
This is my dream revolver. I've wanted one of this ever since I was 8 years old and had one a BB gun replica of one.
Sorry that the pictures are not the best.
