[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3886503, member: 27991"] A good CLEANING and look it over, then decide. Cleaning IS inspecting. From what I see in the pics. Oil finish (Formby's) on the wood, is about all I would do. F-i-L had an OLD, boly action .22. IIRC, he ordered from Sears catalog, in 1948, $12 (a fortune, to a 12 yo boy). It had set in back of closet for 30+ years, when he first showed it to me. 0000 steel wool and mineral spirits on entire gun. Light oil on steel. Danish oil on stock. Character of gun intact. He actually wiped a tear, when seeing it. It shoots good, too. Nothing special, not valuable, but it will never leave the family. [/QUOTE]
