[QUOTE="willystruck, post: 1061206, member: 10468"] Rust can be removed fairly easily. The problem is the pits left in the metal made by the rust. They are hard to hide or fill. How's the bore look? Have you run a cleaning rod through it? Are the bolt internals free, does it cock and dry fire? I'd get the stock off of it and check the internals asap. Take it to a gunsmith that builds/restores rifles and get a better idea of weather it can be made to look good and fire reliably either with a new barrel or the existing one. If the action can be saved and made to look good again then you've got the makings of a fine rifle that will last the rest of your life and longer. As long as you keep your brother away from it!
