Custom guns is where it's at.

But, it has to be very nice.

You would have to be the critic on the reblue job. The re-blue is in the polishing. Can you feel the proofs with your finger nail ? Are the sharp edges polished out?

If the side holes are done correctly ....one would not be able to see then at any angle in any light.

If you aren't gonna shoot irons ... I would have a gunsmith or maybe you know someone with a mill and cut grooves in the receiver for scope mount.. I would make an over ....as I walked. It will never be a collector , but those really nice collectors are hardly ever used..
