About 5 or 6 years ago, a neighbor came to me & showed me a pitiful Win 1906 pump .22 RF. Supposedly it had been sitting in an old barn for the last 60 or 70 years. He asked if it was worth anything. I said I don't know, but I'd take a chance & give him $50, even though it was froze up. At that time, I removed the take-down screw & separated the rifle in half. I thoroughly soaked & wipe the internal metal on both halves with WD-40. A little coaxing & the the little rifle started shucking, although still a bit stiff. I put in a couple shells & the rifle fed & fired perfectly! The bore looks atrocious, but with the existing sights I figured I could ventilate an armadillo at 15 feet.
I'd like to restore this old rifle into a handy shooter again - not a show piece. I guess to start I need to get a disassembly sheet & get all the internals cleaned, polished & slicked-up. Then try to shoot it for accuracy. If I'm happy with that, I guess then handle the cosmetics (wood & metal finishes). How expensive is it to get one of these barrels sleeved? Any ideas or suggestions? TIA....
