I have a L C Smith 00 grade ejector gun with 30 inch barrels and a 61xxE serial number. The gun came to me as part of an estate and I have started the clean up process and now realize that the project is more than I can handle. The stock is not cracked but needs the checkering recut, refinishing and perhaps some glass work. The metal needs the remaining surface pits removed and the receiver case hardened and the barrels blued. The bores of the gun looks good and will not need attention. My question is how much $ can I put into this gun with some hope of not ending too far in the hole. I am not looking to make money on the project but I would like to avoid a money pit.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
