Hi guys this is my new project model 98 got it for fifty bucks the guy I got it from said it is 8mm that is what he has been shooting out of it I have the barrel soaking in oil it is a mess alot of rust .I have been working on the stock I used some murphys oil soap on it Iwas shocked how it cleaned up never used that before. I figured I could not hurt it any more then it was.If anything it would be a good wall hanger.has any one ever used that stuff before?worked good for me.here are some pic of it [image]

Put a few rounds throught that old barrel once it's cleaned up and see how she shoots. If no luck, a quick rebarrel and you have an even better rifle than it is now. What a buy.

Did a fine job Bill, gave the old gal some class,hate to see anything rusted up like that.

The stock looks like a sporter from the long gone Herter's of Minnesota, I have the exact same one on a refinished Vz-24. The Fleur-de-lis on the grip cap was one of Herter's marks.
Enjoy.
Bob
