Thread: Drowned Rifle

Thanks all,

Stripped downed, dried out and cleaned up the old Sako L579 action has a bit of pitting and blueing removed on the side plates but she has cleaned up pretty well. The local H&F shop suggested a spray can corrosion XX as a good alternative to CRC and helped me with a seized action screw. Laminated bedded stock dried out well and has had a fresh couple of coats of stock/timber oil, even got a few grass seeds out from under the floating barrel, so worth the strip down. which I will do more often now.

The old girl took a few knocks on this trip so I will sight it in again shortly, but its looking better than it has for a while. Mask and snorkel next time I head up river..

Cheers
