I picked up these 4 rifles from a friend a few weeks ago, he was going to trash them and I convinced him to let me work on them before he tossed them onto the garbage pile. He told me I could have them if I wanted them and good luck in getting them in shooting condition again.
After cleaning them all up it seems most of the rust was only on the surface, there is some pitting on the winchester and the Marlin 60. I think overall after some major refinishing and maybe reblueing all of them will be nice additions to the collection. The Stevens is in the best overall condition and the Winchester is in the worst.
Stevens model 15-A
Marlin (Glenfield) model 60
Winchester model 290
Marlin model 80, I really like this old rifle and cant wait to try it out.
