hi team
what is this single shot?
I can make out on the barrel:
"NEW HAVEN CONN USA"
"MODEL 25 22S L - LR"
my grandfather thinks he acquired it around 40 to 50 years ago.
Attachment 16190
Attachment 16191
thought it would be a good basic project for my son and i to tidy it up. No problem with sanding back the stock and staining or clear painting but what is the best way to tidy up the rusty steel?
Think its a Stevens.
Looks like a direct copy of a Savage Model 3 (a,b or c), which really nice little shooters! Holding the bolt is there any slop in the cocking handle?
it was in my dads garage, unused for at least 20 years before i claimed it recently. I took it home, gave the bore a clean and put a round in it. Lined up a pretty large diamond shaped target about 80m away and bong, hit it first time. It is a nice plinking gun, fun with the open sights.

I just did a rusty old Winchester, I polished the barrel in the lathe and draw filed the action to get rid of the pitting. I then cold blued it. Secret is a hi polish and degrease carefully before bluing, came up well
Bolt handle is stuck back on:O_O
at some point it has broken off and been brazed back onQuote:

That's a Mossberg. Takes any of .22 Short, Long or Long Rifle ammo.
Yep. Right place to be mossberg.Quote:

Alternating lengthways along barrel, and then across (shoe-shine type motion) for each successive grit
180 grit?!? You animal! May as well started with a grinder :DQuote:
