I had gotten two rusty 12 guage 870's for truck guns. They were covered with rust and cost about $220 each. After stripping both and using 4/0 steel wool and some tri flow all the rust came off everything. And I mean everything. When I got done I probably could have flipped them for at least $300 apiece. Then sanded down the wood, sealed the wood and about 6 coats of tru oil they were to pretty to be used as truck guns. There were police turn ins with mag extensions and 18 to 20" barrels. Got a beat up marlin 336 in 3030 all in parts stock wood needs to be sanded and finished. Now watch it, when I get that one done it too will look too pretty and the search will go on. Frank
