Snaveba

Not yet. Unfortunately I don’t have a free place to easily go shoot. I need to get to a buddies farm.

Well, when shooting subsonic suppressed, I would think a squib round (if that was the issue) might be hard to notice.

On the old gun cleaning supply front, is this stuff any good (or still any good)? It was also in the shooting box

Will a 9mm detonate Tannerite?

well, I got an old shooting box from my FIL and it had supplies from back in the day. I thought the vintage oil and 22LR (and 22L) cartridges wold make for a neat photo with the old gun.

Well, I would have jumped all over this Marlin. It’s the 44mag on GunOwneClub that is a little more than I have two spend. Third in line for this one.

That’s a nice Marlin, but a little more than I have to spend.

I’m unfamiliar with that site.

Come on. Someone wants to let a 44mag lever go to a new home, don’t they?

This is a neat little gun to take apart. I took apart the forend and such, but not the back end. I need a tool to remove the stock nut to pull that apart the back end. I tried the carpenter’s pencil on the barrel rust first. The rust was just a little too much for it. It gave the rust a nice “blued” look. I went with the 0000 Wool and gun oil. That seemed to work better. Not too much, but enough to get it looking better. I did decide to hit the receiver just a touch to smooth it up a little.

So you are saying just use the pencil to just scrape away the rust?

So, just regular cutting oil, 3in1 oil or gun oil? Or is there a specific oil I should use? also, thoughts on the receiver? Leave it at is and only go after the bad rust on the barrel? Or do a light rubbing on the receiver as well? I will of course remove the forend first.

Not quite a pretty as the Model 52 @Choatecav just found.

Will that mar what bluing is around the rust? or should I not be to worried about that?

OK, here are some photos. I need to give her a good clean and lube then see how well she shoots. I love how they take-down. I didnt realize at first that they did. Not too shabby for an Octogenarian. Rust on the barrel "Patina" on the receiver.

I couldn’t wait to post so pics will be forthcoming. A buddy gave (sold me at a great price) me his dad’s 1936 Winchester Model 63 (which was left to him) It appears to be in good functioning condition. Most of the bluing if off the receiver (I think the term is “Patina”) The barrel still has some bluing, but it does have a spot or two of rust on the surface. I will need advice on how I should handle the rusty patches. It is missing the rear dovetail sight but has a Marble Tang Peep Sight. The rear dovetail sight may have been removed years ago. The wood stock and forend are in good condition for an 86 year old rifle. Definitely has wear and marks in the wood “Character”. I will get photos uploaded when I get home.

Are you sure you don’t have a 44mag/44spec you might be willing to part with?

If you get the Nashville direction, I will take it.

Doesn’t necessarily have to be a side gate.

Second favorite movie (after Outlaw Josey Wales)

But I want to buy a lever action…….

Bump. Someone needs a fresh top for the winter
