Sako Forester L579 .243 Restoration

Recommended Posts

I have a 1970 Sako Forester that I'm planning on restoring. The stock and action are in neer perfect condition but the barrel has loss of blueing and pitting on the outside, I scoped inside and it also looks in neer perfect. Is there a good and simple way to get rid off pitting and reblueing the barrel? It's a beautiful gun with one of the best actions ever made I want to bring it back to life.

Plan B ) Buy new barrel, but where would I find one?

Any avaise would be appresiated

If it were mine, I would look for a take-off barrel without the pitting and scarring, re-blue it if necessary, and re-barrel. That would be the simplest way to approach it. Post a "want to buy" on gunbroker.com and gunsamerica.com, as well as on the classifieds here, and perhaps the free classifieds on www.24hourcampfire.com.
