I have on old beat up 1958 ("R:" prefix)39A. Blueing is mostly brown, with some freckling. Stock has a split at the tang, fore end ok, but both need to be refinished. Was in this shape when I bought it 20 years ago. Only thing is shoots worth a damn is old White box Military/DCM Winchester, which I think is T22. Point of impact varies with changes in the way fore end is held. Recently noticed the case heads are bulged, well more dome shaped towards the bolt, so I assume the head space is off.
Question is who to send it to for rebuild? Any idea what it will cost? I would rather return this old gun to its previous form than buy one of the new guns.
