elk hunterAndy375HH,
Colton was a Sears and Roebuck product name, kind of like their Kenmore appliances. Most likely not a real expensive gun when it was new and it would be difficult to name the manufacturer as they had products made for them by various companies then, just like they do today.
Sounds like it is a good keep sake since it belonged to your grandfather. To have it professionally restocked would probably cost more than it is worth.
It's undoubtedly more valuable to you than anyone else.
Hope this is helpful.
