I am helping a friend work on a project gun of his. It is a Ruger Security Six .357 revolver that he picked up recently. It was only fired about 20 rounds and was put in a cardboard box in someones basement for decades.
Unfortunetely it became pitted with rust in several places because of how it was stored and not properly cared for. The bore is in amazing shape so it is worth keeping, just the finish will never be an award winner. We have removed the blueing and have been working over it to get all of the rust removed and smooth out where we can.
One thing he wants to do is get a set of oversized grips for it but it is an earlier model with a 150 prefix serial number so I can't for the life of me find grips for it yet.
Any help/insight would be appreciated.
