I have a Winchester model 12 in 16 gauge. It was made in 1929 and has a lot of sentimental value to me. She was exposed to a humid environment before I inherited it. There is light pitting on the outside of the receiver. The internals and barrel are in very good condition for a 95 year old.

I am thinking about refinishing both the steel and wood. I don’t think they are highly collectible and I would like to preserve her for another 95 years.

What are your thoughts?
