SPARKIE Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Some of you may have seen me tinkering with a new to me gun at Catton hall weekend. I bought a Winchester. Model 77 built between 1955 and 1963 in .22lr . It was giving me issues with loading so decided today to do a complete strip and remove the barrel and drop the action into me ultrasonic cleaner.... And so1/2 hour in the sonic cleaner and and abut of elbow grease looks like it removed years of crud and built up wax. So cleaned and oiled the action seems to be working lovely... I've even treated the stock to a coat of red root oil. It's turned out nice so here's the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
