My wife and I have just inherited a 1917 Eddystone 30-06! It was received by my wife's "pappy" after WW II in cosmoline and has been fired a few times per year ever since mostly during deer hunting season. Basically it has spent its entire life sitting in the corner of a basement.
There are a few dings on the stock but it seems remarkably free of rust. I have shot it in the past and I would say it is fairly accurate. What I want to do is have it examined by someone familiar with these old rifles and if necessary, maybe have it repaired/restored.
Any suggestions for a gunsmith ?
I'd be willing to travel a fair distance for someone great.
Thanks in advance.
