Well, I haven't had much time to work on my Savage Model 5, but I was able to get some work done on it. OldTurtle...I tried your suggestion of using Oven Cleaner to strip the stock down. It worked like a charm...Thank You! I have most of the supplies I need already...like the wood finish, the oven cleaner, the REM oil, elbow grease and the steel wool. I made a trip to Wally World and bought the Perma Blue and this stuff called "The Must for Rust." I have to say...this stuff works well. It also strips the old bluing off of the barrel. The tube feeder was more than half covered in rust and this stuff stripped it right down. There was a little bit of pitting on the barrel and the tube, but it was very little and hopefully it isn't enough to cause any problems. I have included a few pictures and will be posting more soon...Thanks for the suggestions! OldTurtle-- nice job on those projects that you posted! I hope my project comes out half as nicely as yours did!






The only thing not on the picture is the elbow grease...can't buy that at Wally World.
