Hi all, you may recognize this rifle from last year when flynaked posted it. There was pretty considerable surface rust on it, which he had started to clean off the receiver before I purchased it from him. I finished the process on the bolt, triggerguard and bands. We both degreased the metal and used a flattened brass casing to gently scrape away the surface rust, leaving some pretty nice bluing behind.
It's a dou 41 with a cupped stock and e/A80 inspections. The bolt is a mismatch vz.24 bolt with a couple German replacement parts. It most likely came out of another 24(t). After removing the rust, several parts have nice visible circle z markings as well. It also came with the salty but original sling.
I don't often try to clean rifles, but in this case, I think we kept the nice "closet" feel while removing the destructive red rust. I'm posting some of the "before" pics from the original post as well just to illustrate.
