*IF* you are the mechanically inclined sort and feel confident in doing so, give it a squirt or two with gun scrubber to flush the crap out as best as possible. Google up a dissasembly diagram to have as refrence, disassemble it, using a good gun cleaner, such as hoppies, and using a plastic brush, pipe cleaners, q-tips, clean the intire revolver and parts on ALL surfaces, repeat these steps until no rust remails and all surfaces have been removed of any water and flushes out with hoppies, allow to soak for an hour or two (Please don't do this with the grips) then wipe clean and again inspect ALL parts to insure that all water has been removed and no traces of rust remain. After this, soak the parts in CLP for several hours to 24 hours to insure that she clp has had the chance to soak into all of the nooks and crannies in the metal and displace further rust and other debris. After this, wipe down the surfaces of the revolver and all parts, then, paying careful attention to the take down diagram and reassembly notes, reassemble your revolver and test the action (UNLOADED of course
) .
If you don't feel comfortable in doing this, take it to a gunsmith to do it for you and quickly before further rusting takes place. Either way, time is of the essence..
Next time, don't worry about the faded bluing on your own, if you really MUST reblue the revolver, that's what experienced gunsmiths are for unless you are willing to invest in the equipment and time to learn how to do this properly. Either way, good luck and I hope this helps.
