My 14 year old son finally finished his project gun. We picked up an old Revelation 200 (Marlin 336) in 30-30 a few months ago for 150.00. It was made in 1965, it had surface rust and wood was rough but not chipped.
He stripped the wood, smoothed it out, and refinished it. Removed all the rust, reblued all the metal using Oxpho Blue, installed a 3-9x50mm World Class scope and it is done. The picture does not do it justice. It is beautiful. We will sight the scope in at 100 yards this weekend at the range.

It sounds (and looks) like you and your son have done a great job on that rifle. It's looking great-except for that big ol' scope on top of a lever gun!

Just kidding-your son is a good guy for bringing new life to that old shooter. I hope he has lots of good hunts with it, he's earned them.

I bet that boy will take deer with that thing too! Great job. I have personally never owned a new rifle because I so much enjoy doing as you have done fixing them up to restored condition. POW

Looks really good....I wouldn't let him finish it though.....he'll have to have another one to work on! I can't think of a better project though......Hope it shoots as good as it looks!
