Just a heads up... I don't know what their backlog situation is right now but I sent in a Model 19 revolver to the Springfield mothership for rebluing and a couple of minor repairs and it took about 7 months from first contact to return of finished gun. I was OK with it because they were fairly upfront with the timeline involved... Just relating my experience with it. (This was first initiated about a year ago.)
