It's not an inspection, per se, since the weapon has been in the family. It's just been shot quite a bit and needs a "tune-up" since some of the parts are quite worn. I don't wish to simply toss it because it has sentimental value.

Sorry, to be obtuse, but what do you mean by "tune-up"? What is it doing wrong? Is the gun inaccurate? Is it misfiring? Is it hard to load the chamber or hard to extract the spent cartridge from the chamber? Is the safety and/or bolt not working properly? Is the trigger feel poor? Is it just that the stock and/or receiver finish is worn? Please describe, in detail, the behavior of the gun that is a problem.
I've got plenty of old guns, including surplus military rifles, that are old, and have worn finishes -- they look like hell. But they shoot just fine and frankly nothing needs to be done to them. If it still works, leave it alone.
