First off, for a restoration, if the bores and barrel wall thickness are good, that stock would need to be replaced. Usually a stock replacement will start around $2K. If you're going that route might as well have it made to your dimensions. Action can be cleaned up inside and out. There are guys who specialize in re-bluing the barrels. Damascus can clean up and cold blue to a gorgeous pattern. Breck Gorman is one guy I would recommend for those barrels. Nice gun. The grade 3 may be the difference between a full restore and selling it for parts. If the barrels are too pitted then Briley could fit a set of full-length tubes to those specific barrels and you could convert it to a 16g or 20g easily.
