The condition of the right hand lock, and breech balls should be sufficient to give you the courage to do what should be done. It takes patience and vision to see these long term projects through, whether you contract it out, or do it yourself.
I spent over 5 years, working nearly nonstop, to restore my 1892 steam launch. The next 28 years enjoyment made it all worthwhile. Bill Ruger plunked in his barn in NH, and it hasn't been out since. I sure wish it was still being used and enjoyed.
Think how much fun you'll have shooting it when Dean is standing next to you lusting over it.

Print a few of Gary's pictures, and pin them up in your gunroom. Nothing like some good gunroom porn.

Print a few pictures of Gary's and Bruce's and Charlie's pictures up in your gunroom... Nothing like some good inspiration!!

George, that will be a wonderful gun when the restoration is complete.

Best, Dean

George, Yes as far as I know, I do not see any reason to believe they are not! The previous owner had the gun for quite a while. Gary
