[image][image][image][image]You have revived some total disasters and posted them on this forum. I have a Ruger #1 action with some rust on it which could use a bit or cleanup and a reblue. Rust is on the top of the frame and some on 3 threads of the action.. will try to post pics. Not a disaster just needs some TLC. Will send it in stripped. So a couple questions. 1) approximate cost to polish out the rust and reblue? I am considering while it is with you what it would cost to rebarrel it? Not sure of the caliber yet? Thinking of maybe a 24”. 8mm Mauser?

I will be sending in my Reeder semi custo for a trigger action job and could include the Ruger action then. Thanks Tom

An 8x57 #1 Would be a dream gun...

That with the case hardened finish. I have a couple of 7x57and have about 3,000 Hornady bullets in .323 that I got many years ago cheap so 8x57 is my choice for a couple of reasons. Thanks for the pic iris a very attractive rifle!

Color coordinated rings too, very nice.

rust is deep and will take a lot of hard core buffing and even them will probably still have some deep pitting. Plus the threads will have to be chased and cleaned up. So that is not a TLC gun. That is a full restoration. There is no way of giving you a price until we see it.

Ok, i’ll Send in and discuss once you see it .
