The active rust can be mitigated, but the damage looks to have been done already, big time.
And being a V grade, unless its a 28g making the situation "right" would not be financially advantageous.

Sometimes it's not about the money.
It's about salvaging a piece of history. If I can get this back out in the marsh I'd be happy. J |

Well, if it is destined for the marsh, then no need to make it TOO nice. I agree with you that it isnt all about the money, but i at least need to state the obvious as to what it takes to correct issues like this.

I asked about the Fox HE that was severely neglected and relegated to a damp basement in coastal Swampscott, MA and sold on GB for $9,450 a couple of weeks ago. I went and examined the gun and knew when I saw it that it should clean up nicely.
The owner posted it over on the Fox Forum and said it took him a couple of hours to clean it up. Trust me, the gun is tight like new and the lever really is that far to the right. It was almost a new gun when it went to the cellar for more than thirty years. Enjoy the before & after pics... .

I would buy that 32" VHE. That's just me. I've had a baggo guns like that. They are some of my favorite guns. My gunsmiths are all rich.
