just got a winchester model 06 .22 pump dated 1911 as a gift from my mother in-law it has set for a long time but it does still fire, it has some pitting and stock is a little rough but all in all not bad,my question is will it hurt value if i have it re blued and stock refinished.

If you could post a picture of it that would help. In 90% original finish they are worth some money, but that model in 90% or better is pretty rare. Does it have a pistol grip stock or straight stock?

straight stock grooved pump forearm still can't figure out how too post pic. will get my son too do that.

The straight stock is more prevelant but if in very good condition worth a lot. If there is pitting in the barrel that will impact the value of the rifle. They are a great little rifle I shot one a lot when I was a kid.

If you don't want to wait for your son, take a picture, transfer it to your computer, upload it to photobucket and then copy the jpeg right to your post. Hope that helps.
