Nice candidate for a restoration, James. Good choice, IMO.
One suggestion. Shoot her for a year, or four, before you ream any constriction out of those barrels, from one who has regretted doing so.
SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Stan, no plans whatsoever to open the chokes. Besides, Claudio won't let me even if I wanted to.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

Not that I have always followed this advice but hopefully I have learned a bit.....if one is going to dump money into a restoration, it needs to be a high original quality gun bought for a steal to make the numbers work out. But whether above or below water, I don't plan on selling this one so it doesn't really matter to me. Yup. Standard dimensions don't fit me very well, so I follow this the best I can as well. I had 5 of my 7 restocked and one I just tossed a pad on. The only one I've left original is my grand dad's Elsie.

In this pic you can see how the little leaf spring on the left has lost some of it's spring and curvature when compared to the one on the right. That will require a little work getting it back into the correct shape. Perhaps a bit of laser welding to get that thicker tip back and then re-tempering.
