Stevens Model 66-B and old Weaver scope?

PsychoROM

I have my grandfather's J. Stevens Arms Co Model 66-B .22LR bolt action rifle... with a M 29S Special Scope from W.R. Weaver Co..

Any ideas as to where I can get some parts and/or a reputable place (preferably in NY state) where I can have some minor restoration work done on it? There is a minor amount of rust at the end of the barrel (though the bore is fine), and the action seems a little sluggish, but OK. The bluing could use a little help, but it's not too bad off.

Oh yeah, and any ideas as to value (not that I'd sell it)?

And, does anybody sell parts for these things anymore?

Thanks for any input!

  Try this site... in NY... the page should take you right to the Stevens list.... then just click on the model....
  
  http://www.e-gunparts.com/model.asp?idDept=241
  
  Standard Firearms Catalogue lists the value as...poor condition...50.00... to very good at 150.00...
  
  If you want to reblue... try Blue Wonder.... check out general discussion.. and search for Blue Wonder...Does an excellent job...

  Restoration work/cleaning/minor repairs is one thing, but re-bluing will diminsh the value of it if you are looking to sell.
  
  
  *Edit*
  Is Blue Wonder the same thing as "OXPHO-BLUE" sold by Brownells? I've used this stuff for a couple years and it's great too!

  The 29S was made from 1937-1947; value ranges from $75 to about $130 depending upon condition. $130= New in Box.
