ok the saga continues.
interarms mark X, 7 x 57.
the bbl( now removed from the action) was a nice blue, but the previous owner/smith/what ever, sanded a section in the middle of the bbl, and scratched the length about 12" on either side. i'm guessing some screw up while doing his "great" full length bedding.
i need to do some work on the bbl. it is mounted in the lathe with brass crown protector.
i have done some light sanding...and still have a visible scratch...tho much finer/smaller.
should i just get it bead blasted and stop removing metal ? or keep at it , and get it re-blued ??
its got good wood that also need refinishing( what you don't like STEEL WOOL in your stock finish ??).
