Respectfully: 

There is no way I would waste my money on something like that unless the plan was to use it as a wall hanger for some sentimental reason.  Back when I was buying them for under $70 in great (like new) condition, and they had never seen cosmoline they were a good deal.  At that time there was not a cheaper firearm available.  Now days there are plenty of brand new rifles, pistols, and shotguns that cost less, function properly, and in some cases even have a lifetime warranty. Money is too hard to come by to though it away....

Normally I'd agree, but ironsniper1 is learning a lot in this process about what works and what doesn't and is developing some skills which may be useful in the future for more worthwhile firearms. That's not necessarily a waste. Plus the documentation done here helps others as well. It's like learning to polish car paint on a crusty Dodge Neon instead of starting out on a Ferrari.
