My Dad bought a Model 37 Ithaca 16 ga. somewhere around '54-'55 that I grew up shooting in the '60's. It got proper care, but over the next 20 years it just lost most of its blue from constant use until it was just a silvery brownish blue, very thin. I regretfully had it re-blued it in the "80's. Wish I hadn't.
And Ted, cars are cars and paint is paint. Guns are different.
But I think what Ted is trying to say is, you should go ahead with the re-blue. I really think that is what he is trying to say.
Really.
