I know how he must have felt his first go-'round. This is without a doubt an abomination. This thread will serve as record of an attempted salvage. Shame as it appears to be "functional" (parts move freely) during initial inspection. Needs serious TLC without saying.
Step 1: Total disassembly and assessment. I will break down the smaller action bits/tube/mount/etc. as I document. For now some broad strokes.
Don't even get me started on the decades of filth. One piece at a time. The stock will need replaced. Period correct scope is thrashed as well. Will take awhile to go through the individual parts.
