Reminigton speedmaster 552 .22 cal.

[Rancid Crabtree]

Refinishing the barrel of this old gun was a chore. The rust had pitted the metal pretty deep. There's nothing really that I can do about it so I just have to deal with it. Here is the barrel after all the rust and blue was removed.



A close up shows the pitting.



Here it is after being twice blued.



With all parts refinished, it's time to reassemble this mess of parts. I hope I don't have left over items when finished.



The last thing I added to this gun was a new set of scope mounts and an old fixed 4 power scope. This will make it a good squirrel gun.



Here it is all finished and with a good rub down with orange oil















All that's left to do is sew a case out of that denim fabric the gun was sitting on. One more old gun brought back to life.
