[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 3611143, member: 38658"] I just think you need to do something to protect it from getting any more rust or damage. It will turn to a piece of corrugated tin roofing if you let it. Maybe even send it to a top shelf gun smith that knows how to make the gun safe to pass down. I was one of the "don't ever touch" an historic or heirloom gun. That's very smart but I've changed. I want' mine to be well again. I want to do what every I can to make it sweet and shoot if possible. I got a bunch of the "you ruined it" from collectors but they would follow it with some ridiculous low ball figure now. If I ruined it, why do they want to buy it? After a bit, they would offer as much and more than they did when they first found out I had one. That's just me and my little experience with a weapon of some value. Might have just got lucky, but the bottom of that barrel, if not properly treated, is in trouble. If you live in a very humid area of the world, even with dehumidifiers, you are taking a risk. IMO [/QUOTE]
