Ahlman's has a well-used but still mechanically sound Colt 1903 in .32, for $399. I'm not sure if they're a firm-price joint, but I suspect I could at least get a box of ammo thrown in -- but either way, the price seemed very fair to me, especially for in a shop and not online.
So, that's the first question; good price? Before anybody talks about the gun or the cartridge, I know they're both absolutely obsolete. I just like them.
Second; Do I ruin the value if I reblue? If not, is cold bluing acceptable for a whole gun like this? Never done it before, but I'd like to try. I don't mind the gun looking all beat up like it is, but it'd be a fun project.
