It is looking good. The wood is certainly worth keeping.

Nice pics. I just picked up my first 1883 at auction yesterday. Nice to see what the innards look like. Not likely I'll have mine apart.
Wood, fit and finish on these old Colts looks great.

I was surprised to see how dense the wood is, much more so than the couple other guns I have messed with (Parkers).

I don't know how devrep feels about it but I felt this shotgun was a snap to disassemble and maintain. I did this years ago on one as the parts were all gummed as they appear to be above. IMO: It is one of the simplest and strongest designs I've ever seen.
