i agree with what brian said...brad is a very good gunsmith from what i have seen of his work..you might could tighten up the old gun yourseves...take a piece of paper about 3 thousands thick put a small piece of it around thehing pin..if this is not enough double the paper..if this tightens it up you can use a pop can cut a piece out of it and fit it around the hingpin it will last longer than the paper...you can also fit the paper around the forearm were it meets the hing pin...good luck and keep us posted on the outcome..charlie

Just my take on things but If I had a family gun as you do and your uncle used this great gun to hunt deer with
I would have the rifle sights properly installed at the time of restoration and keep the gun just as your uncle used it. Call me a romantic or whatever....
