Oh, NO NO NO NO! Do not restore it! That would destroy it's collectable and remove its life's history. Fix what needs fixing internaly, but leave the exterior as is.
Thant's my opinion, for what it's worth.
King Medallion:
Ahh, it pays to read the whole OP, didn't see the stock was replaced. Still, I would not restore it externally.

Yeah I would’ve have said the same if it had all the original parts. But the stock was replaced and it isn’t checkered. If money was no option turnbull could make a fancy stock and restore the handguard and the metal and internals would be beautiful.

King Medallion:
With the stock not original, but still correct, would it be possible to have the correct checkering applied and the somehow aged? That would be the route I would take, if it were mine, and if I were really concerned about checkering, which I'm not. I'd still leave it as is.

One statistic in the Madis book of Winchesters that needs to be added:
How many Winchesters have been restored by Turnbull? Too many!
