Springfield/Stevens Model 56

[Tumerboy]

So, I had to clear out a lot of my dad's old stuff from a storage locker he had and found my old .22 from when I was a kid. It's a bolt action Springfield/Stevens Model 56. It's probably been sitting in storage for at least 10 years now. It's in ok condition. I cleaned it up some, the bore seems good & bright still, but the exterior has gotten a bit of surface rust. I've only got one 5 round mag for it (all I ever had).

Anyway, I have 2 questions now.
1) Anyone know where I can find extra magazines for this gun? I've dome some searches but haven't found anything terribly promising.

2) Would it be worth refinishing this thing? Is it sacrilege to refinish an old gun like this? I can't imagine it has much value past the sentimental. I'd love to get it cleaned up and reblued though. Anyone know someone in the bay area (south bay preferred) who could de-rust & re-blue this thing?

Thanks guys

I recently drosd a sears and roebuck 2200 .22 and found this site initially then went to brownells ( way cheaper)and took a chance on what appeared to be the same mag. and return to the pawnshop to check the fit and it fit, but i havent cycled it with ammo to see if it worked.

Triple K makesmags for old Savage rifles. Savage, Stevens and Springfield usually share parts. A Savage 6 and a Stevens 87 are nearly identical . You should have no difficulty with it
