I inherited a Winchester Model 1892 in 32 W.C.F that belonged to my FIL. The serial number is 593### which I believe puts the manufacture date of 1911. I also believe it to be a round barrel sporting version.
It sat in the corner of his bedroom for at least the 17 years I've been in the family. It's in decent shape, but I brought it to a reputable gunsmith to have them go through it part by part and clean, oil, ensure function, remove surface rust, etc.
No I am concerned this service work might impact the value. They are not going to refinish anything, just a complete tear down, clean, and oil.
Will this impact the value of the rifle?
Thanks!
