Troy: Not being aware of your skills or bank account, the first response to such a question is, "What do you want to do with it ?" - decoration? occasional sporting clays? Hunting? If decoration only, just hang it up and you are done. If you want to shoot it, then determine it's shootabilty first. After that "do the least harm possible". Your gun might look very nice with just a complete tear down, clean up and reassembly. Assuming the barrels are in good condition and the action tight, you could enjoy using it at the range or in the field. If you are a do it yourself guy, check out the FAQ's regarding screwdrivers before you do anything. From the pictures, the gun has been dismantled some time in it's past history. If you leave the work to a gunsmith, have the cheque book handy. If you want to do a complete restoration, there are folks that can be recommended - again, have your cheque book handy.
So where do you want to go with this?
Cheers,
Jack
