I picked up this pre '64 M88 in .284 Win. One of 2600 ever made.



It is currently in pieces for what appears to its first ever out the stock cleaning and action "slickering" job and stock refinishing.



Some of the parts (on the right) have already been smoothed  (400, 1200, 2000 grit then crocus cloth) then reblued.

Just in case I want to clean it up a bit after stripping the nasty refinishing job done by he previous owner.

Yeah Rick, I fell into this one. I even found some Lapua brass for it. That should last a lifetime.

Very nice!
