Don't think I want to have someone restore it. It will never be original again. New barrel? not original. Current barrel is the one it was born with. It may have been neglected and rusted from corrosive primers, who knows. Now it is usable and enjoyable so it may remain that way. I would like to get a spring pin for the forend, may even find one with a sling swivel attachment as well. The rifle shown in the link to Gun Auction has such a pin in the forend.
