I recently put a Winchester 37 in .410 ga on layaway for the low price of $70. It is a red letter gun, which apparently means something.
The entire gun over is covered in surface rust. I cleaned the bore before making the deal and it came out nice and shiny so I'm thinking a lot of this may come off with a good cleaning. The wood is in decent shape with no cracks or chips. The bottom corner of the but plate cracked and fell off. Function check seems fine.
I originally layed it away thinking it would be a cool gun to try a first reblue/refinish. But I know these can be desirable and am wondering if I should save my efforts for something different. It might clean up ok.
