Restore it, use it to practice and learn! It will be well worth it to you, and worth far more to you because of it!Today I found my old (1958) Model 94 Winchester in one of my out buildings. I thought that I had sold it to someone a number of years ago. It was still in it's old hard case. I took it out and man did it look terrible. The barrel seems OK but I had to use a lot of solvent to finally get the action open. Lots of rusty solvent. The stock had been refinished by me when I was a kid and looks like it too. Somewhere along the line I attempted to re-blue it. I'm debating whether or not to strip it all down and restore it to it's former deer hunting glory or just sell it to someone with some money and ambition. I haven't hunted deer in years and mostly shoot holes in paper targets. What would you do? It's really terrible looking but I think that it will still shoot.
