Based on your couple photos, the gun has some good things going for it. And it looks like it needs some work too. Mostly related to the barrel finish.

Thanks Brian! Doing as much research I can before I work on it. Bought a couple Frontier Pads to see if that will help get the dried up crud and rust on the barrels. Found Flanigin's article about refinishing the barrels, looks like some useful information.

Derek feel free to bring your gun to Major Waldron's Sportsman's Association in Barrington NH on New Year's Day. You will have a chance to get some thoughts and advice in person from several PGCA members. Shooting starts at 9AM, tall stories and "hey look what I have here" over coffee starts around 8AM. If your coming from Nashua I suspect you would take the Rt125 exit off Rt101. Take 125 north towards Rochester. Take a right on NH Rt 9 in Barrington, the club is a mile or so down the road on the left.
