I really appreciate all the comments, answers and ideas. I too was wondering about the crown on the rifle. It will be interesting to see how long the barrel is when it arrives. Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for all the replies. If it looks as good as the pictures indicate when it arrives, I may just leave it be.
What type of finish did these have? Would it accept some tru-oil without having to strip it?
Thanks for the replies. 6mm, it's a plain old 30-06. I'm leaving home shortly, but will post some pics this afternoon. Nice old 721 that I hope shoots well. Don't even have it yet, but is on the way.
I recently purchased a Rem model 721 to restore. I only bought said rifle because it was a 1951 model, same year I was born, and my Dad hunted all his life with a model 721. I am going to have the stock refinished, and have all metal reblued. I have included a picture of the muzzle, and my...
Anyone ever use Cheddite 209 primers in their ML? I was at a gun shop today and the cheddite was all they had, so I pick up a 100/pk. Hoping they will work in my TC Omega using Blackhorn 209 powder. Thanks.

SOLD--Brand new, bought in November and used one day. I prefer just a neck strap under my coat, or carry in my backpack.
$85 shipped, prefer Paypal. Thanks for looking.
Thanks Dave, I used 1 part Murphy's oil soap, 1 part rubbing alcohol, 1 part Hydrogen peroxide. I saw a thread on another site that said fill the barrel within 3 inches of the top, and let the mixture "Fizz", when fizzing stops, about 2 hours, empty the barrel and clean with a patch and the...
Question for guys who know better than I. How long do I let a mixture of Murphy’s mix sit in a ML barrel? A few minutes, couple hours, overnight? I’ve read about it on other sites, but no one mentions how long you let it sit in the barrel. The barrel has some light pitting throughout, and still...
