Thread: Self isolation gun projects

Taking 110 years of rust off the action and barrel.

Before


And after half a days work carefully working it off with rust remover and 0000 steel wool

A smaller scale lockdown project for me - turning an old savage 99 stock into a lamp stand. Also got hold of a very nice (and very expensive) slab of walnut to make the base, and modified an old cartridge case for the switch, even has the original SA Corp 250-3000 headstamp (and a new primer). The other photo is the original prototype I made last winter from another stock. the shade is modified with fern leaves from the garden. Will do the same with the new one too so we have a set.

That's a very "light" stock!
