I am new to this forum but not to Firearms. I was at a recent gun show near my town and came across a Stevens-Savage Model 258B B/A for $55. The firearm works well but has a few minor hitches with it. It's not exactly what I was looking for but I am satisfied with what I have.
My questions are:
1. The barrel is in need of work. Re-bluing or possibly having it sent off to be dipped in camo. Which do you think would be better?
2. I has looking for a strictly slug gun and the barrel of the 258B is not rifled. Can I have the barrel rifled and who should I look for to have this done?
3. The stock is unfinished. Do you think that I would be better off to have it finished or dipped along with the barrel??
I appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
