This was my grandfather's rifle in the war. I acquired it after my father passed almost two years ago. It's been sitting in the closet since. Well, now I am getting the few parts it needs to be functional. I would really like to shoot it. (I will have it checked out by a gunsmith of course) before I do. I have, however, been thinking of restoring it. Part of me wants to keep it like it is, but is there a way to restore it and keep all of the original markings? I was thinking parkerize, but don't know. Really need some suggestions/advice guys!
