Here I tried to rescue two badly messed up mod. 1897 Winchester pump action shotguns, made somewhere between 1900 and 1903, over 120 years old. They look rough, but they are way worse than they look. However, I've got a new powerful ally in reversing the effect of time (and maniacs) on gun parts. Will I manage to get them to shoot again?
