I have come to be the guardian of a rifle that has been in my family for 4 generations. It is a Winchester 92 made in 1901. It has wear and tear from 70 years of hard use, but also shows great care. The hammer spring needs to be replaced and the magazine tube is loose at the muzzle. There is a bit of finish missing at the muzzle as well, but the rest is fairly intact. The gun has some collector value, but this is not an issue as it will never be sold.
I've been considering turning it over Doug Turnbull for a full restoration. The cost of the work will be more than the current value of the rifle, but I'm not worried about that either. Be sure to give me your thoughts and opinions.
