Today I received a rifle that is need of restoration; I can do whatever I want to it. For fun and something a bit different you guys work out what should be done. I’ll try to answer any questions about the rifle that I can. You decide what needs to be done and why. Remember this is for fun, you have a keyboard not real tools.
