Thanks for the above estimates John & J.B.; but I was really thinking along the same lines as Ken above. The only cosmetic issues I would address are surface rust removal and perhaps a stock refinish. However; IMO the gun would still have to be priced in the $500 to $700* range to make this economically feasible. Most of us who post here are capable of doing these minor cosmetic things ourselves.

*John: I went back and editied this after seeing your post. The IA of A thinks your spot on with a realistic current value of $500 to $700!!
