Can't help with your levergun, but the story reminded me that I used to take my.22 rifle with me to school and lay it in a mesqute bush.
Pick it up after school and go hunting.

I have a problem.
Have a Winchester 1873 rimfire.
It has seen better days,could be considered a parts gun.
Would I be commiting some sort of un-pardonable offense if I did a restoration?
Should I replace the miising parts and wall hanger it?
