I remembered about your dad's Silver Snipe the moment I was shown the $100 gun my friend had bought.

Rust has taken over the outside of the barrels and I spent a few minutes removing it for him, then applying some OxphoBlue with swabs to freshen it up a bit. A trip to the ultrasonic put the action back in fine fettle and he now is not ashamed to take it out in public. I'd never had any dealings with the old Silver Snipe guns, so when I saw his it reminded me of you immediately.
