Had my dads old 1950's 22lr he gave me years ago still in the closet, along with a 410 from Mossberg that hadn't been touched since we got them years ago. Was going through the closet re-oiling things to be sure rust was not starting to take over which is so easy to happen here in the South if you let them go unattended for very long. Noticed how bad the finish had worn on both of these long guns over the last almost seventy years and since I still had some loose time on my hands til summer gets going full blast I would take the opportunity to re-sand and get a tung oil finish applied to protect the wood for a few more years to come. I still work part-time at a custom cabinet shop so it does make it easier to get some of the basic work done without having to have a shop here at the house for all of the work. I did do the tung oil finish here at home, while all the sanding was done at the shop. I still have two more coats of finish to put on the 22lr for a total of three coats, but I will have it done before the weekend is over so they will be ready to try out at the range soon. I ordered a few additional chokes from Numrich Gun Parts Corporation, along with the spanner wrench, and some extra magazines and butt pad and white spacer for the 22 that were gone, they have the best inventory I've been able to locate on lines so far.
This is the 1953-56 bolt 22lr in its unfinished stage.
