Navy shooter refinish?

Jasta2 · 06-03-2023, 06:53 PM

I have a 'built" Navy (thanks to a forum member) that I might refinish. It started out as a mismatched 1921. It has a new 6" barrel and repro Navy sight added to the toggle. It shoots very well. Seeing it's a shooter with new barrel and sights, I feel a refinish would not affect its value. Though as it is, it has more of a true worn look to it. In the picture, on the top, is a mostly matching 1906 Navy with a period mismatched toggle. Mismatched as it is, it's still a collectable Luger to me and not planning on shooting it. The lower one is the built Navy that is the one I am thinking on refinishing. I know it's a personal choice. I take it to the range a lot. Little finicky with some ammo. If I go that way, any recommendation as to a shop that can refinish it? Anyone ever tried a different finish on a Luger? Thanks, Bill

Oh, GT just completely refurbished a Navy mag for me. Looks great.
