Mossberg Palomino

[SFCEd]

My wife's Grandfather used to own this one. I was want opinions if worth restoring or if I should just leave it alone? It shoots great, but has a lot of wear and tear. It was very rusty so there's some pitting left after cleaning, not to mention all the scratches. The wood is in good shape.

Thanks. I don't think it is worth much. I didn't even know what it was at first. The stamping was completely rusted over.

I'd leave it as is and use it.

If the gun only has sentimental value, I would refinish it.
Make it real nice again and hopefully your grandkids will be able to enjoy it.
I just finished a SxS project.
A no value gun, but I like it and hopefully when my 1yo is old enough so will she.
Nothing like passing on an old, good looking, working gun.

That carbine is a fun shooter. I have the 402 also and the rifle (400). Short stroke lever action. I would tend to leave it as is but I have never had a Mossberg in that bad of shape. Thanks for sharing.
