So for those of you with more of a clue than I, if you were presented with an obviously torched gun at the right price:

1) Would you feel comfortable buying it if the price/gun justified a total annealing and re-case hardening? Any pitfalls in this that would be different from re-doing any other gun?

2) Assuming the seller would let you, could you easily test if the colors were the "low-heat/chemical" method with a bit of blue-remover? i.e. rub a q-tip with blue remover on colors--if they rub off it's blue; if they stay it's torched, or something to this effect?

Thanks,
Dave
