If this kind of restoration works feels good to you, then find the local youth shooting sports advocate (State Rifle Assoc., Club, etc.) and see if you can help a kid or group that isn't as fortunate as most and give them something they'll always remember.

I support the T.S.R.A. Foundation south of you for just this reason.

"I carried a Colt Lightweight Commander for years, my favorite pistol.
My son kept asking me to give it to him and for his birthday one year I did.
About six months later I told him to grab his Colt and let's go shooting.
That's when he informed me he'd traded it for a tattoo."

If I had done that I would have been laying on the ground dazed and bleeding with my father walking away never to see him again. Of course it is something that I never would have even thought of doing. I, 50 years later still have all the guns he gave me, no matter what. I feel for your hurt.

That is sad.

He picked a good .22 to buy though, if there is at all an upside to this...

Things easily acquired have little or no value to that person. When you have to work for it, then you appreciate it.
