The Born Again Winchester Project

[TINCANBANDIT]

I bought this sad looking Winchester model 250 lever action .22 that was in a house fire.....

after some parts searching, lots of cleaning and sanding, then rebluing, the gun looks like new again


Here are some before and after shots

Very impressive job. Hard to believe it's the same gun.
