I was told he was very fastidious when he had his wits about him (alzheimers), I also know that he is not the one who just put them in the closet for long term storage, so I guess it's a wash. I've already made sure it was unloaded, along with the other guns I've found in the house since we've been cleaning (a no name 20-gauge and an old, beat to hell arisaka he picked up during WWII).

My understanding of the model 88 (from what I can find online) is that it is actually a bolt action operated by a lever (however that works), a kind of middle ground or best of both worlds philosophy. It also apparently went out of production in the 70s.

Does anybody have any idea what it's going to cost a smith to just give it a good looking over?
