I wouldn't refinish it. If just some rust on the metal, put some elbow into it and get as much off as possible. Leave the dings (character) in the wood. Clean the internals well. Try and find period correct sights (ebay, 24hrCF, google) and get the period incorrect fiber ops off. Oil it well, go shoot it and let your son do the same, clean the barrel afterwards and then put it up somewhere in a nice dry spot.

Take the rust off with a piece of denim and a little oil. If that doesn't work use 0000 steel wool SOAKED in oil (it has to be soaked in oil completely or it will take the finish off) to gently remove the rust. Then clean/oil and put away.

I like Automatic Transmission Fluid and light steel wool for getting just a light rust off and I would maybe rub a dab of tru oil on the stock and leave it. If it really needs to be refinished I have had a few old guns Cerakoted who's finish was not salvageable. Turned out nice.

If it were me I'd have it refinished and restored as far as the sights go, and I'd hunt with it.

Choot ‘em! Nothing like shouldering your kin’s long gun and putting meat on the table. As long as it’s in good working order.

I'm sure your dad would want you to use it, and your son to use it too. It's not like you are going to wear it out unless your taking it to the range every day.

I got the same gun made in1967 from my dad after he passed away. I want to kill one deer with it before I put it up. I actually had to put a higher fiber optic front sight on the gun as it was shooting 8-10 inches high at 25 yards no matter how I adjusted rear sight. Also, my vision isn’t as good so the fiber optic really helps. I sighted it in 2 weeks ago and I’m on and confident out to 50-75 yards. So once I accomplish that goal I’ll prob just admire it from time to time.

I always used a nickle to rub rust off gently then oil over it good.
