this is a pic of the rifle just after i got it.
the barrel was rusted badly, and had a few nicks the rust has been rubbed down on this pick. the stock was also in bad shape. nicks and dinks in it. it had been used as a work horse, and put back in the gun bag wet, hence the rust.
but ive since got a mate to bead blast the barrel, and reblue it. then he stripped off the stock and refinished it, and put the wrap on the cylinder and silencer, to bring it back to life a bit. it was a right old dog when i bought it, but im glad i did .
