Get the rust off, clean the gun thoroughly, have the headspace checked, and it should be good to go for shooting. The only parts that would have to change to make it a 9mm, would be the barrel, and the recoil spring in the frame that absorbs the recoil. The 9mm recoil is a little stiffer than the .30 caliber rounds... all other parts are the same, including the magazines.
If you get the gun for $100... you stole it!
