Thread: Self isolation gun projects

As mentioned on my other thread I have been working on a fairly old Savage 22 single shot bolt action.

I steamed out those dings that could be steamed out and sanded the stock several time using progressively finer sandpaper and finishing off with bronze wool, I dampened the stock between sandings to get the best effect.

Despite suggestions to the contrary I used raw linseed oil ( it’s all I had and with lockdown couldn’t get any boiled stuff) but I thinned it with turps - meths was a fail. I’ve done two coats.

It’s turning out really well so far.

The barrel was a mess externally but I’ll attend that
