I have a 1921 Winchester 52 Sporter .22 inherited from my father. Sadly, after a divorce/move/neglect, I see today that it's barrel has rusted, the trigger guard has lost its blueing and it is not at all the same rifle my father passed on to me.
I'd like to restore it ,both to honor my late father (who would be appalled at how I let it deteriorate) and because it is the finest rifle I own, of any caliber, but I don't know how much to do without damaging its value. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thanks.
