The Goex looks good. Have a gunsmith check the rifle first though and go by his recommendation. I personally would not shoot it. I would treat as the treasure that it is.

Don't take the cleaning to far. Part of the value of an antique is in the patina. I've seen some firearms that people cleaned up that caused the value to drop to less than half. +1 on what Thane said. The old trap doors will not handle smokless powder. Buy some reloading equipement and load black powder charges.
