I like the cheesy lines and squirrels!

Here’s a few midway pictures… the metal is cleaning up great! They sure don’t make them like they used to. The stock is stained and drying……

Well, it’s all cleaned up. I’m leaving the stock with a few dings and marks. It is now a serviceable, clean, lubed range ready 22.

Fine looking rifle. You did it justice. Better than I could for sure, a few dings show character, it's been used not hanging on a wall or in a safe.

Nice. This is making me want to find one. Had one as a kid, sold it for $50 some….30 ish years ago. Back then they were $75-80 at Kmarts
