Working on a project

I know the updates have been infrequent of late and that, I'm afraid, isn't going to get better before the new year.

I am working on a project right now restoring a 1936 vintage Winchester Model 37 shotgun for my dad. It belonged to my grandfather when he was a boy. The gun has been sitting in a closet or garage for probably the last 20 years and has gotten quite a bit of rust on the barrel.

I cleaned up the bore yesterday, oiled and wiped the whole thing down, and then took a worn Scotchbrite pad to the rust and gently removed it.

The barrel and receiver will need to be reblued but the gun seems to be in useable shape as is.

I plan on getting a box of shells for it this week and shooting it on Saturday before I head south for the holidays.

Thanks for reading,
