    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.

    G96 Gun Blu gives a good finish, so I've been told.

    personally i would want to keep is as is as long as bad rust/ has not set in , Clean it down with a solvent and use knife and gun wax https://www.henrykrank.com/flitz-rif...tle-fzgw02702/ , and just reapply as needed , This has kept my bare bright steel henry 1860 fingerprint and corrosion free and a formulation of this is used in museums to keep exhibits in A1 condition.
