    Has anyone had Ruger re-blue a pistol?

    I am thinking about sending my 44SBH to Ruger for a re-blue. She's 32 years old. And has been parkerized. How much does Ruger charge for such a service?
    Thank ya much

    A friend of mine sent in a Mk1 .22 last year to be reblued, a sentimental thing, they replaced three buggered screws and did one fine refinishing job. He had close to $130 in it counting shipping but that was a year ago and I'm not sure how they charge.

    I had one done by them a couple years back. Then the price was 75 bucks and the bluing job was much nicer then any out of the box rugers ive had.

    Yeah, I was really happy with how it came out. First gun I ever bought, new back in '76. Had a lot of use and some abuse over the years.

    I bought a blackhawk, cheap, with some pitting from damp storage a few years ago.
    I sent it back to Ruger for a refinish and they did a great job.
