I have an English bore rifle .72 that was burnt in the bushfire that destroyed my home last year. The springs are soft, so is the trigger guard, the barrel has a nice fire blue colour (its Damascus ) but it is not bent or warped. I have a mate who can sort the lock out, and am seeing a custom stock maker later this week who is willing to re stock the old girl. I will have to resolver the under rib, and apart from the lock, and I guess reproof her. Some of my other rifles the barrels got so hot the iron actually burnt so I think they are permanently ruined. The barrel being wrought iron, I should think that should be ok.
Anyone here refurbished a burnt rifle or smoothbore?
