I appreciate the responses. I like my guns to look "good" but not necessarily new. I don't have anything of any real value so I clean them up good, re-oil the wood, try to remove any rust on the metal and touch up the bluing. I want a shooter that has character but doesn't look trashed or worn out. I never blue a receiver that would have had colored case hardening prefering to leave it silver/gray as an indication of use.
