My brother found this old Taurus revolver that belonged to my Grandpa in my Grandma's stuff
Can this be repaired and restored?

Looks salvageable. It probably fires right now.

it's taurus, just throw it in the trash.

Yeah, take it to a gunsmith, since you’re asking here you obviously don’t know how, and it’s better to pay a little bit to have one restored then try to on your own and fuck up a family members firearm. Gun smithing is fun, and I recommend you buying broken cheap guns and learning to fix them like that if you have the aptitude. That looks like a finish issue, and most likely just is. Take off the grips and soak it in mineral spirits for a few hours then use a brass brush or a rag to rub it off. If it goes beyond that I’d take it to a smith.

It was irreparable when it left the factory.

Aren't their wheelgats supposed to be decent at least for the price point?

These posters are nogunz. Taurus’s steel revolvers are by no means bad, especially the ones from the 90s-2000s

Mind yall that im Brazilian so this is extremely illegal at least as of now
How can I keep it from getting any worst until gun laws are relaxed or I can get a (((permit)))?

Op restores handgun get stopped by cops for his taillight out. Cops find gun run the serial numbers and find out it's wanted in a murder investigation.. Grandson sequels on grandpa.

I own a taurus, nigger. It's a piece of shit. It's the 85 ultralite, a model that's supposedly good, but those monkeys at taurus used a barrel made in a crackhead's basement. Trigger is decent tho, I'll give them that.

Man, reminds me of Alas Babylon...at least you didn't see if ut still worked by putting it to your head and pulling rhe trigger, because after the bombs drop, paper money becomes worthless...and you are a banker.

This is interesting. Is there more of this artwork?

No he said it was a Taurus

Pic related is what that gun is supposed to look like. Take it completely apart, clean the fuck out of it. Use metal polish to scrub that green shit off the exterior. If it passes inspection after all that it will be ugly but shootable.

*be advised that when you take off the sideplate the hand will come off with it. There is a tiny spring and plunger that live in the sideplate which tension the hand. Don't lose that shit. It's kind of a pain in the ass to get the plunger back in the hole in the sideplate without launching it so be careful when reassembling it.

That greenish-blue color suggests to me that the nickel plating has become oxidized. Pic related is nickel II oxide powder.
Fortunately cleaning off nickel corrosion is quite easy. But it's also a protective oxide layer so you might be exposing vulnerable points on it to further corrosion.

No the user just assumed you were in the us because he can't into actually reading the thread

The green is oxidation of nickel. Its a plting, so if the nickel has bubbled and flaked, the finish is fucked m8.
>if you clean and find flaking finish, give up and send it out to get blasted and refinished.
Repairing flaking nickel is pointless and stupid. Its like fighting aggressive mccain cancer with homeopathic kombucha drinks and avocado toast...

Ha!

This is the dumbest thing I've seen on Jow Forums in at least an hour.
