Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I had some ideas about what it would take before I posted my question, and these replies confirm that I was on the right track. I've got some work ahead of me, but I believe it will be worth it. The stock is in near perfect condition, and the exterior metal surfaces cleaned up nice. If I can get her back to shootin' shape, that would give me 2 more weeks every year in the deer woods, plus the pride and satisfaction of having salvaged a gun that otherwise would've sat around in an outdoor shed collecting more rust. A shame to waste a good firearm like that.
Thanks again. I'll post again with the results when I'm done.
