I have just been in the same situation. I inherited a model 70 22.250 carbine. I had plans to tidy it up and leave it original, thinking it would be a great gun for the kids to use .but after putting a few rounds through it made the call to suppress it. Left it at factory length (20 inch). Has made it way more user friendly, especially around young ears. As already mentioned, put a thread cap on it and good as new.
I think it all depends if you want to actually use the rifle or just sit around admiring it and fire the occasional shot?.
