Rust was really only on the surface of the barrel. None on the receiver. I cleaned it up really good with steel wool/oil. Degreased it and used Oxpho-blue to touch up the barrel color (didn't need to hit the receiver). It came out pretty good. There is one spot that someone had obviously grabbed with a bloody hand. I had to use a little more force with the steel wool there and the Oxpho-Bule turned it kind of blue colored instead of black like the rest of the barrel.

Now, I get to start working on the wood. It has a couple of small chipouts and some depressions that I'll try to steam out. The original buttplate is gone, but I'll fit it with a thin rifle pad in its place. The biggest question right now is what to do about the 4 screw holes for the factory sling mounts. This gun was one of the original ADL models and they came with factory installed sling mounts that uses two holes each. Of course, I can't find those anywhere.
