Can’t wait to see how it turns out myself!! This is intended to be a “repair” project. The finish on the barrels is decent and there is very little finish left on action, trigger bow etc. there are three pretty significant dents in the barrels, two of which I believe may be associated with the event that snapped the stock at the wrist, Dave Wolf thinks the same, and one of those dents was associated with the major dent at the edge of the forearm. Fave reports that he was able to raise that dent so as almost impossible to see in the wood. That I don’t think is repairable without refinishing the barrels are the six or so pellet dings in the tubes. In my minds eye, given the degree of larceny the original owner was capable of, I picture these as a result of being discovered on a midnight raid of some angry farmers henhouse! (Making up “facts” )
