If you disassemble, remove the rust and blueing and polish the metal, most gunsmiths don't charge much to drop it in their hot blueing tank whenever they do a batch of guns. My smith only charges me $40 to hot blue if I do all the prep work. It's somewhere between 150-225 for him to do everything. Preparation is the difficult and labor intensive part of blueing. It does determine how the blueing job will turn out, so you must do a good job.
