The wood is no issue with this gun. And the frame is a secondary concern as well. I agree with you that the barrels are your major concern on this gun. They should be deemed as safely restorable first. The bores being good are a big plus. You will have to check out wall thickness of the barrels first and have the barrels examined in person by who will be room the work to see how deep the exterior pitting is and how it can or cannot be fixed. Being an 0 frame, the barrels are light. But at least it is not a 16g. The 20g will give you some more wall thickness to work with.
This is quite the gun and should be properly restored if you have the time and resources.
Why don't I find guns like this? Is it because I don't have a garden shed?
