"not going to win any beauty contests"... On the contrary, my most prized firearms are those that I've inherited that belonged to my grandfathers and great-grandfathers!
I'm very pleased that you decided to bring it back into firing condition. I'm sure your dad and uncles would be pleased that their old war trophy can now be enjoyed by their descendants. I know I always think of my ww2 veteran grandfather or my ww1 veteran great-grandfather when I shoot the rifles I've inherited from them...
