Old Model Marlin 80

cool. Im gonna try and get it all cleaned and back to its original functioning condition

 

post pics after the resto bro!!

 

i plan on doing that

 

Am late in posting this but will throw my two cents in.
Just finished a few Reising's but they did not want them re-blued. I used 0000 steel wool and a gal of WD-40, made sure the metal and wool was soaked and went over it a few times, since the finish was about gone no biggie. Also hit the wood, in the pistol area and cheek area to get years of grime off.
Check the metal for heavy pitting, if to bad only a buff will remove. Check the bore if you want to fire it again, I know in most cases old .22's the bores are shot, from years of great service, only a sleeve can fix this problem. For I piece that was handed down in the family......for me, clean it up, and sit back and think of all the fond memories it had.

 

yeah i guess, bu ti was wanting to pass it down to the next generation in my family when i can. and i would like for t to be functional. My buddy also recently inhereited a 1913 Winchester leveraction .22 from his father. and i would like to pass my .22 down as well.

 

thanks. where can i get this stuff

 

allright, well i got the gun all cleaned up ( except for the outside of the barrel) and I ran about 50 rounds through it. for an old bolt action it did surprisingly well at 50 yds. my spread was pretty well close together. and that was with iron sights
