It came out nice.
Did it need repairs and parts scrounging or just refinishing?

Just like mine. Best 22 handgun I ever had. At my son's right now, he's making me a holster. Must be a nice one tee as he's had it over three years now!

Is it blued or painted? Sanding down to remove the pitting?

to answer the questions

The gun was reblued, using the hot salts method (same as the factories do)
The gun didn't need parts, just refinishing

For more info, go to the blog links, I detail the entire process
