I bought mine new many years ago. Did a dumb thing back then threw it in the glove compartment when on a fishing trip. Did not know there was a sharpening stone in there. Scratched the crap out of the barrel.A retired gunsmith I met was blueing some of his own parts and polished the barrel threw it in for $25.Didn't quite match the original but mutch better. Second dumb thing not having him do the whole thing
