Take it in. You can use the compound yourself but it isn't as good and won't last very long. If it's a good peice and you want to have it around a while drop the cash and get it Parkerized.

You could also do what I did with my grandfather's JC Higgins Model 30. I refinished the stock myself and sent the metal parts out to be redone with Duracoat. http://www.hoosierguncoat.net/Home_Page.html Some of their examples are pretty wild, but they can do basic black or blue finishes that look really sharp and are very durable.

Don't sandblast it. If the gun is as old as you say, it could be a softer metal and you could really damage it by "blasting" it with abrasives. There are alternatives to cleaning besides "blasting"

Before you do much of anything you might want to take it to a shop and get a sense of what you have. If it is safe to shoot (some of the the old "Pot Metal" frame revolvers won't be) then decide on your metal finish some alloy fames can not be hot blued as they will dissolve. If it is something you are going to use as a shooter, You might consider Brownells Alumihyde II ($20 it comes in a rattle can in a bunch of colors holds up well and there is a video on the Brownelll sight on how to use it). If this is to be a just in case gun that someday might fall out of a boat or accidentaly tossed over the rail of a bridge , yu might consider the favorite of amatuer AK builders and bikie shops alike. Barbaque paint holds up ok gives good coverage and should it wear or scratch stop by The Hardware Store and grab another can.
