Is the Model 14 a weapon you plan to keep or one you are planning on trading or selling?
If you plan on keeping it and not hunting with it then spend the money and have professionally re blued and restored.
If you are secretly wanting to sell it then just clean and oil it. GB has a 3 model-14 32 calibers price/bid at $159, $205 and $595. The highest bid price is $205.
If it was mine
, I would, refinish the wood with oil, bead blast and dura-coat the metal flat black, mount a ghost ring aperture sight and a sling. I would then hunt deer and hogs with it until the undertaker came to take my carcase away. But hey I am a little odd
