I figured that I would document this adventure when it dawned on me...Why don't I bring all the MO's with me!
So don't expect much but please stay seated until the ride comes to a complete stop!
Let me start by saying that one way to get to know a gun better is to tear it down and show it some love. So that's what I did, and here's what I found......
Not sure if you can see it but there is a brownish haze and this piece which really bugged me. I later found out what this tiny was, but here is some more shots from the internals.
...but wait there's more!
Now the inside of the receiver...
Needless to say, things were not pretty inside there.
Somebody must have been a real "Jack-of all - Trades". (self proclaimed I'm guessing)
It is that so called repair that made me realize what the brownish tint on everything was. Yes, wood stain. Wood stain everywhere!
Now we can fast forward 4.5 hours of light scrubbing with mild degreaser and about 97 Q-tips.
A little degreaser and all her secrets came out. Secrets like the wood stain and also a layer of black spray paint on the receiver! After removing the spray paint this was revealed....
Clearly from that handy dandy stock repair.
Just goes to show that you never know what your going to find when you get up lose and personal with a used hand me down gun.
All in all I still love this gun. Just means that the search for factory stock parts begins today!
And to boot, no extra prices left over after the oil bath and re-assembly!
That was my Friday night, Ya'll come back now ya hear!
