Hey everyone, longtime lurker but this is my first post. I was going through some stuff that was my grandps's who passed away when I was 17, and found a Model 1873 Winchester 22 cal, the serial number puts it manufactured in 1890. The rifle is in horrible shape, forearm busted, action is bound up and the outside of the barrel and receiver is pitted. The bore is in good shape with no rust.
What is everyone's opinion is this worth buying new parts and fixing up and re-bluing or just make it a wall hanger?
