Yes that is why I bought this one. I didn't see serious pitting and it looked to me as well it would clean up real nice. We can't all buy perfect condition guns and I was looking for a bit of a project. The first thing I always do is disassemble and clean and scrub and oil. That is the fun of it for me. I like the mechanics of how guns go together and get them in perfect working condition. Working on them is almost more fun than shooting them. Well, not really. I shoot what I collect and I only collect what I can shoot.
This one will be my oldest gun yet.
