I picked up a S&W model 63 and would like to have refinished. Mostly superficial scratches. Previous owner etched his initials on the side plate. Any suggestions
you could replace the side plate, I just looked on ebay, there's a few of them for around $30
If you think a revolver is kind of tricky like a watch, you are sadly mistaken. Any moron can disassemble a revolver…. It’s not rocket science. Even if you get stuck, youtube will offer tons of assembly videos to guide you.Do you know how to polish? If this is your first time I wouldn't risk it. To get a really clean finish you'll have to disassemble , revolvers are tricky, kinda like watches, you need very exact fit screwdrivers and some other tools. I would keep it just like that and put In a cheapo holster and stash somewhere.
