So the amount of effort invested will be enough to get it shooting reasonably, and hopefully rust protected to an extent.

I’ve learned this lesson the hard way. I sold one of the fellas one of my rifles a while back, couple of weeks back I took it out of their safe and couldn’t believe the state of it. Oh well.

reminds me of my brother in laws family (married my sister) once heard remarked"they would be cruel to a crowbar" I remember as a teenager cleaning up thier rifles in disgust at state of them..
