A friend at work has offered me this rifle for “cheap”.
He helped somebody clean out a wet moldy basement and salvaged it from the trash.
I’m thinking maybe offering him $50 but I’m not sure if it’s even worth that.

It took some work to open the action and the hammer will not fall hard enough to detonate a primer.








The buttstock is not badly dented and would probably clean up nice.





The is rust is pretty bad, especially on the end of the Barrel.




Also the cleaning rod and sling are missing.


The stock has a crack that could probably be repaired but would require some filler where wood is missing



The sight is rusted in place and cannot be adjusted. A good soaking in WD might work it loose?



The finely detailed manufacturer patent marks would probably be lost.




What do you guys think?
Give it a try or run for my life?
