Ballistol is your friend.

Paul Chell is your man for a top end reblue, I'm guessing in the ball park of £120-150 for better than new finish, but I believe he has personal issues and it'll be a while before he takes on any more, there are various cold blue options if you wish to have a go yourself, search the forum, there should be plenty of advice as to how to go about it. I've had reasonable results myself with a few cold blue systems

I now do my own after learning to rust blue the traditional way. There is a good tutorial how to rust blue on some of the BBS threads, give it a try.

I once had a theoben sirocco classic reblued and it never shot the same after I put it back together - no amount of pressurizing and depressurizing ever got it back to how it shot before. Just something to consider with a gas ram. Also if you decide to reblue you'll need a charging adapter for your ram - bestfittings do these.

Thank you all, I never thought about how the shot cycle might change and I love the way it shoots currently, plus, it is what it is and hopefully it will remain that way for the next generation... Where's me oily rag!

P.S. Great rifles, underrated I reckon!

Definitely underrated. I have two, a 90tb in 22 and another standard 90 that I put a .25 barrel on to scratch the .25 itch. Both shoot fantastically, especially the .25. As to whether to restore or not I think that's up to you. If you like mint things then get it re-blued and the stock done. It's still the same gun as it was. I have my dad's old game shotgun, it had a few things that needed sorting, not least of which was that he was a lefty and I'm not. I've had it sorted but it will always be dads gun and I love shooting it for that reason.

In these circumstances of having a item with sentimental value.

Cold blue is a option that will make the rifle look better without changing it's character of whom it used to belong to.
