Whats the rifling like? does the bolt still work?

id need to clean it first to be able to tell it probably hasnt been fired in 35+ yrs and its missing an the extractor

If the rifling is screwed then I dont know what you would want to do but if its fine it shouldnt be hard to clean up, not sure about the stock could try make a new one but maybe if you took the oil out of it you may be able to glue it back together.

Looks great as is, I personally wouldn't change a thing other than give it a good clean/oil.

That's cool. I imagine a Winchester cooey or Slazenger/lithco .22 would have similar parts that could be used to replace missing extractor??? You can pick those old single shot .22's up for $30 - $50.

The rust will come off with steel wool soaked in CRC or similar. Depending on how far you wanted to take it you could do a cold blue job for about $20 or get it done properly for about $100. The stock is fucked, but this would be very easy to re-make. The inletting is only one run of the router all the way through...you couldn't get an easier stock to make.

It would look a million dollars when done, and if it’s of sentimental value it would be worth it.

Interesting trigger guard

If you are keen to keep the stock I could fix that for ya or talk you through it. Do you know for certain what wood it ?

Any damage other than the diagonal crack and the missing bit top right of the fore-end?

Get it mil spec'd, put a McM EDGE stock on it, bed it, true the action, get a lightened firing pin, Jewel trigger, fit a Kriger gain twist barrel bored out to 22LR-AI, fit a S&B PMII and a T2 brake. You're away laughing
