DUDERINO, it is nice to hear you are keeping this piece of family history. The metal can be cleaned up using 4 aught steel wool soaked in WD-40. When aquiring a forend make sure it was for an octaganal barrel. Lastly the recoil you mentioned puzzles me as this caliber is very mild, especially when firing in a full weight rifle. Check and clean the bore well and take a good look to check condition. Even if the bore is pitted, I have had good accuracy.
