Dad and I were talking before Christmas and I think we had the same idea at the same time. Give John, Pop's old 22 rifle for Christmas. It needed to be cleaned up so I told Dad I will pick it up and give it an over hall. He told me not to grab the other old 22 rifle that it was is real bad shape and it did not work. Bingo! That will be my gift to Dad for Christmas. So I swung by and picked up the two rifles and got to work.

| REMINGTON 550 |

| MOSSBERG 151 |
The Mossberg was in rough shape and not working. My goal was to at least get the gun looking nice and clean with no rust and boy was there rust.
This is not a great picture but you can see most of the surface rust and it continued to the inside. After I cleaned it all up and blued. I set it out on the bar for my dad to see. When he and my Mom came home he looked at it and said wow John's gun looks good! When he realized that it was the Mossberg he was very excited. His reaction made all the work more than worth it.
