Hi All,

I have a HW90 that has recently gained some serious sentimental value, the action has lost a lot of its bluing and I'm torn as to what to do, so I would greatly appreciate any thoughts and/or advice on the following:

If I leave as is but maybe treat it to a frequent oily wipe down would I be able to conserve its current condition or is the process of degradation inevitable, how much worse could it get?

How much would a full re-blue likely cost (ball park) and does anybody have any recommendations for gunsmiths in the south west who could do a good job?

And finally, given the sentimental value... restore to its former glory or leave as is, what would you do?

Thanks in advance,

Richard
