Thought I'd share this for the sake of record if nothing else, but input is welcomed.
So, I have this co-worker, great guy, and his only living relative, his 40ish year old brother, recently passed, and left him this rifle. I don't have the full story on how it ended up in this condition, but I know it went thru a flood and a house fire at one point.
So I agreed to restore it, as best I can, to a functional and somewhat attractive condition. It has no stock, pitted badly, outer magazine tube is pretty damaged and bent, I think I can salvage the forearm. I thought it might be good to document the progress here, so these are some "before" pics of what I'm dealing with:
