It’s been 4 years so I guess my original post was deleted.
I had a family gun, model 62 made in 1936 that I pretty much ruined by leaving it in a damp closet. Stripped the Rust/finish off then it happened again. I shot the heck out of it in my youth and finally broke the firing pin, front sight broken, and had a bolt pin come loose.
i decided to have it repaired and refinished since I retired. It came back looking like a shiny new penny. Looked brand new, metal and wood and the repair was excellent. Shoots spot on just like I remembered.
if anyone is looking for this type of work I highly recommend:

Took a while but totally worth it.
Old school wood and metal - when firearms were tools and required skill and craftsmanship to create.
Clarence,
a +10 on that comment.
I shipped it to them and they put it into the queue for the right guy. I wasn’t complaining at all. In fact I was in no hurry and made that clear to them. A rushed job is definitely inferior to a relaxed “get it done when you can” one.
