Cleaned up nice.

Rifling looks real good Matt!

It’s a shame the previous owner let it rust up. The rest of the rifle aside from those rust spots is in very nice shape

Here she is finally completely cleaned up and oiled. Should be a good shooter, excellent bore. The rust didn’t eat through the blue by kinda etched it and made it a lighter greyish blue than the unaffected blueing.

That is a good looking rifle even with some pitting present.

I like the bore.It's pitted a bit but rifling is strong and edges are pretty sharp.It can make a good shooter.

Nice job Matt,
Wood still looks a bit thirsty...?

Yes it definitely is! Wood still needs a treatment of oil. Haven’t gotten out to the store to pick some up yet.

Spent the last couples days trying to get the metal cleaned up and oiled. Wasn’t too pleased with how it looked but I don’t think the gun looks too bad now. Thankfully the rust didn’t eat through the blueing in most places but rather altered the colour of it/thinned it a bit
