What is it? What should I do with it?

[Dutchninja]

Neighbor brought this over, asked if anything could be done with it? No markings on it whatsoever. knock off model 61? trigger is missing a few parts, there is a section of pitting in the bore about 2 inches from the muzzle, there is a decent amount of rust, stocks are cracked. it is in 22LR. Any thoughts? sorry for the awful pictures.

Looks like an old gallery gun from the carnival.

whoever had it painted camo all over it, which in some spots helped protect it. source for parts? Numrich?

Hard to tell for sure from the angle of your pics, but I believe it is a Reminton Model 12.

It looks like a great Winter restoration project, to me..........[smilie=w:

I think cliff55 is correct. I missed, what I think, is the pin in front of the ejection port. Also, is the stock have a radiased on the front of the pistol grip, where it attaches to the receiver? Clean off the paint on the left side of the receiver. If it is a Savage, it will probably have Savage rollmarked there. A Remington is usually marked on the top of the barrel, between the receiver and the front sight.

In the condition it is in, I doubt that it is going to have a relatively low value, but depending on what it needs for parts, it would be a fun plinker. I agree that Numrich is the place to start. I think the Savage parts are going to be harder to find, but the internet is a great tool.

I think cliff55 is right from what i see off of Google images. Now to find parts........

Looks like my Dad's Savage 29. Just not that color lol.

I put it in an electrolysis bath tonight, all of the rust and paint came off like rib meat falling of a bone.......will post a picture later. Turns out it is a Sears Robuck Ranger 102-35. Which is the knock off savage 29 for sears. still have to find parts, but i think the cost to fix would be more than a used one in decent shape would cost.
