Ditto. Until I realized that the gun in question has some historical significance via Pretty Boy Floyd, I was prepared to recommend the option of going all in and building a sporter with a rust blue finish, new barrel, and classic style pistol grip stock- something like a well heeled Krag lover would have had done in the 1920's.

I would leave this one alone and scare up a good Krag donor action to achieve my sporter needs.
