Good friend recently acquired some guns. He is moving and asked me to keep his collection secure. One of them that he just got is a Savage-Stevens made Springfield Model 67C in .410
It is dirty and stiff but functions and shoots. The wood is decent but in need of strip and refinish. The metal has spots of surface rust, no pitting. Stamping is readable. I haven't taken it apart yet to look in bore. My favorite gunsmith isn't in his shop for me to ask how.
It may sound strange but I'm nterested in it for 2 reasons. First, it's a Savage. We all know my affection for Savage and/or Wards Western Field guns. Second, it's a .410. I have been wanting one for a while. If the stars all line up it just might find its way to Mike for refurbishing.
Based on the model suffix of C…
So after all the crap that happened the last few months it is time to get back to work. I am starting another blue batch with 10 guns to do. I also need to send out a gun to get it relined and the repairs are picking up so busy, busy, busy.
It is about time the funds are getting low.
Well I am all done. Now it is time to assemble them all. I saw a few spots on the wood I did not like so yesterday I sanded and did another coat of Tru-Oil.
Very good, I hope he enjoys his prize.
