Now that sounds cool. This gun however, I cant remove the barrel from the trigger assembly and everything. Could be a trick to paint.

My choice would be bluing it first. You'd run into similar issues with powder coating as you would painting. Though it'd be left to someone else to get the powder coating right.

Its really hard to read but I believe mine is a 583.10 which was not under the recall. However, considering how hard it is to read it could be a 583.18 or 19 which were covered.

Home blue works ok if you put on sevearal coats.
Go to brownells.com and look up their alumahyde products. Its a spray paint that you either bake on (version 1) or spray on and let dry (version 2). It is a tough as nails epoxy based finish and so far I havent had a lick of rust or been able to get it off with anything intentionally or unintentionally. The cans only cost a few bucks and you can do it all yourself at home.

Awesome, I may go that route. I will take more detailed pictures, I may need some help dis-assembling it. I will have someone a little more experienced put it back together.

It worked really nice for me, I used the bake on and fortunately it fit inside the oven.

I doubt this barrel will fit in the oven =). This thing is long. The dry on kind sounds like it will work pretty good.

I sprayed some magazines with it and my friend went to a fighting gun class (he trains civvy contracter for IRAQ and other conflicts), the finish didnt een scratch really and they beat thier stuff in mud, rocks, water, etc.
Or you could find a buddy who has a pizza oven lol..
