My quarantine project

[Noshow]

I bought this Lee Enfield several months ago, and have shot it many times and it is a nice shooter. So I thought I would give it a face lift. I sanded the oil stain/varnish off and did some extra sanding to get rid of some scratches . I also repaired some deeper nicks, some are gone and some you can still see, although they are smooth now. I put on several coats of TruOil to finish the stock. The barrel I also sanded to get rid of some scratches and painted with an Enamel paint and then heat treated it in the oven to make it a little harder.

Very Nice,
I did a 1941 Finnish Mosin and now working on a Japanese type 38.
Both were headed for the scrap heap but the old timer that owned them offered to let me "hack" away on them.

Decent sporter. Nice job!

Looks great! Always nice to see them refinished.

Thanks for the nice replies. I have a soft spot for old neglected rifles.

Very nice. Out of curiosity, is there a reason you painted them instead of blueing them with something like cold blue?
