Another Single Six today, but a ?
« on: January 31, 2004, 01:26:29 PM »
This SS is 9 1/2" and is 1973 manfacture, the bluing has a lot to be desired and thinking about sending this one back to Ruger for a face lift.  I saw in another post that Ruger will do some rebluing, my question is price?  Also some feedback, I can have it done hear pretty reasonable.  Any thoughts, thanks

I remember a few years ago it was only around $40.  Remember that they'll also go through it and change out any worn parts at no cost.  They'll also change out any springs that may have lessened the trigger pull so simply take those out prior to shipping.

Thanks guy's for your information, I'm going to call Ruger Monday morning to get a few more details.  I'll post my findings Monday night, but for now I cleaned the SS with some WD40 and 0000 steel wool.  It sure helped the looks on the old girl, the cylinder and barrel being the worst.
