This was my late grandfather's gun it was either in his boat or in the barn so it lived a hard life. The lettering on the barrel is mostly not readable, I might try some oil and superfine steel wool. The rifling appears to be straight with no twists?

If that is a Winchester Model 67, it is chambered for .22 Long Rifle, I think. No doubt, holding trigger to rear lets you remove the bolt. Looking down the bore, you will likely see that what rifling is left in there likely makes a turn or two - so a "spin" was imparted to the 22 bullet.

No doubt worth your while to find some instruction to remove the wood stock without breaking stuff. Since it was your Grandpa's gun, have to clean it up best as you can. Those old single shots almost could never be "killed" - but might need occasional luv with some oil - also some cleaning inside that barrel bore - even once every 50 years not a bad idea. You are not a millionaire for coming to have that - I would be surprised if somebody would pay $50 - but clean it as best as you can, and would likely function as single shot .22 for another however many years. Even just taking the entire bolt, as is, and drop it into a can of diesel fuel or kerosene - let soak for a couple days - likely as close to "good as new" as it will ever be.
 
An early Model 67 ( what I learned to shoot with back in the late '50's). Single action screw in front of the trigger guard can usually be removed with a quarter. If you have an ultrasonic cleaner ( or a friend does) the crud that will come out of the bolt will be amazing. Trigger and sear cleanup and light polishing and some shim washers on either side of the trigger to decrease " wobble" / keep it centered will help. Yes, the trigger pivot pin really is just a pin through the stock wood! Hopefully it was not dry fired enough to peen the chamber. And yes, the front trigger guard screw is frustrating to remove / replace without a homemade very short 90 degree screwdriver.
Clean it up and enjoy!
 
My son cleaned one up for a guy down the road. Pretty sure it’s the same Winchester. He took steel wool and oil to the barrel for hours. He used the 2 part cold blue. It turned out really nice. I kinda regret not removing the sights. The job would have looked a bit better if we removed, cleaned, and blued. But at the same time he made it look great. When the older man shot his 22 that he hadn’t shot in years it was spot on. I was quite impressed with that cold blue.

I gave it a little cleaning tonight, pin and chamber look good.
Did you mean to say the takedown screw can be removed with a quarter? That's what I used along with channel locks.
