I recently stripped and polished a beat up old S&W M36. It spent 50 years at the bottom of a purse rolling around with spare change. The gun functioned well, but looked like crap. This is not my first bluing job (5th or 6th) but the blue would not set. I believe it was due to a high carbon content steel, but I could be wrong. I love the way it looks and so far it seems to hold up well.

Let me know if you think I should have coughed up the $160 for S&W to do the work? I personally like this better, looks more authentic.
