So was able to acquire a 1974 Winchester 94/22 Magnum off a local fellow. The bluing was in pretty good shape but tiny speckling on receiver mostly and a bit on barrel. Action internals and the bore were in perfect condition. The mag tube follower had fine rust and a bit of pitting that didn't go too deep, but other than some of the deepest pitting polished out pretty good. It is a steel mag tube follower so is quite thick and will be fine. The spotting doesn't show anyway once inserted. The stock was the worst. The wood was badly dried out and the finish checking and flaking off quite bad. Only one deep ding in it and mostly some rub marks and safe kisses that steamed out pretty good once the finish was stripped. I didn't want to remove all the history of the stock so a couple of the deeper marks I left to show but it turned out to look pretty nice when I was finished.
