I picked up a lc smith grade 2E crown steel barrels a short time ago, it has an old poor condition pad and some cracks under the lock plates....along with the lock up being a little loose with the forend off ...Talked to a good smith and it seems like for in the 500/600 range he can epoxy the cracks, replace the old pad and tighten up the action...Case colors are all but gone with barrel blue in the 85% range....should make a nice shooter for a decent price when done..dont think Id ever completly redue a gun but repairs and a little spruce up can bring one back to life.....think I might just do that...
