Just bought a used S&W .357 magnum for $490. It is stainless steel with rubber grips. There is a cluster of scratches around the screw just above the trigger on the casing. The scratches are densely clustered in this one spot, otherwise the revolver is in good shape. The barrel inside is immaculate. I examined it with a piece of white paper to reflect the light and it looks great.
My question is this: do you think this cluster of scratches could turn to rust? There is absolutely no sign of rust or pitting right now. I am thinking of the future, years from now. I have until Tuesday to decide if I want to keep this revolver. I can return it to the dealer for a full refund if I am not fully satisfied. I don't care about the cosmetic appearance of this revolver. I just don't want something that could pit and rust later on.
Also, do you think I paid a fair price for this revolver?
Thank you kindly for your advice on this matter.
