Inspection/Rebluing of Pistol

Recommended Posts

My dad retired after 37 years of being a LEO and is moving down to South Carolina in a few months.

When he first started working back in the 70's he had to purchase his own firearm. He used the Colt Lawman mkiii in .357 magnum.

Because of the move, and my love for shooting, he said he will give me the firearm. Remixer will be handling the transfer, but does anyone know a good gunsmith in central NJ that would be able to inspect it and possibly reblue it?

 

Though it's a family heirloom, it won't be a safe queen, I want to take it out, and I want to know its safe.

He said he hasn't used it in over 30 years and I rather it not explode in my hands.

I am located in Old Bridge if this helps.

 

Thanks in advance for the input.

You do realize that if your Dad is a NJ resident, you DO NOT NEED AN FFL to do the transfer.

You need your 4-part PPP, which you and your dad will complete, then he'll mail the top 2 copies to the NJSP and your local PD.

He gets #3 and you keep #4.

No FFL Fee, no NICS call (or charge) necessary.

He lives in NYS

Give Jim Blauvelt in PA a call.  I know it's not central Jersey, but I believe he's a driveable distance from you.  I've not had any work done by him, but have seen it.  I don't know if he re-blues tho.

You could send it back to Colt for all of that.

I have checked the colt website and called them, they are currently not accepting refinishing/metal work.

 

I won't be receiving the pistol until next week sometime, and the metal might be fine. I am more concerned with an inspection/safety of the firearm.

 

I see heritage guild in Rahway has a gunsmith, anyone ever used him or seen his work?

Their custom shop still lists the work...  When will they accept it?

 

For the money, I would have them royal blue it.  Their royal blue is extremely deep and impressive.    I considered doing the same that you're considering, and for the same model gun.

They said they will accept repairs but metal refinishing will not accepted. I asked when they might be able to accept it and didn't get a firm answer. I plan on calling back Monday.

      For sale never used cylinder for a rough rider single shot revolver in 22 magnum. I got a gun with two swappable cylinders but never got mag ammo and don't have the gun anymore, so it's brand new. As I understand you can swap it into any 22lr rough rider to make it a magnum, but confirm this yourself. Heritage sells them for $29.99 (plus tax & shipping I assume). Willing to ship but you pay.

      Anyone knows of a reliable gun smith or armorer that can swap a barrel on a S&W 686+ revolver? If you used them even better. Any idea on the cost to do the work? Obviously someone local in NJ as the first choice. Thanks for any leads.

      Hello, new owner of a handgun in NJ. Had a question for all of you experts out there! I keep seeing all these different things online so I have an suv so the trunk area is accessible to the back seat area. From my understanding, it needs to be locked in a case and its fine to be in the trunk of my suv? Also my other question.. the ammo.. that needs to be in a separate case? Does it need to have a lock on it or can it just be a bag with a zipper?

      Finally had the chance to spend a good amount of time with the gun.  At this price point, there is no reason not to get one!

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
