Title: $200 give or take for a
Post by: fatbaldguy on October 07, 2012, 10:09:21 AM
milsurp pistol.  Mechanically sound, great bore, flawless shooter.  Looks like its been rode hard and put away wet, but the surface is smooth and no pitting.  Would you spend $150 or thereabouts to have it reblued?  I've got it bad for a CZ milsurp.  I just don't like carrying ugly guns.

Get the gun now save to get it reblued later.
Could do it yourself, or Duracote it.

Ain't gettin' just one, maybe three! ;D  I'm not real impressed with any of the 'cote' products.  I've seen too much chipping, flaking, and holster wear.  Caveat is, the coating might not have been done properly in the first place.  I like/prefer a nice high polish blue.

Another option is to go the extra $10 for hand select, also, the picture they show is just one in stock, the ones you get may look unissued.

FWIW.... I shot a 1911 for USPSA competiton for 25years.... I now shoot a G34 for USPSA competition... at my age I don't like to shoot a poor major match because the pistol breaks (FB3G 2006), I may not live long enough to shoot another next year..  ;D
