One of the firearms I acquired when my grandfather passed away was a Remington Model 12A .22 rifle. The Buttstock was cracked completely through and it wouldn't cycle correctly. The bluing is completely gone and there may be a few other pieces that I will need to replace or purchase but I am determined to fix her up into a nice shooter.
Surprisingly the bore looks clean and the lands and grooves of the rifling are in good shape. As a start I have ordered a new buttstock and forend with the replacement screws for each. I also purchased a schematic. Unfortunately, my grandfather did not baby his rifles. They were well used and it definitely shows, but I am absolutely sure I can restore this back its original beauty. Granted, I am going to spend probably twice what the rifle is worth, but its a sentimental thing.
So, lets see your Remington Model 12 if you have one. Would also like to hear how you like it if you have or have had one.
Will post pics as that parts come in and I get working on it.
Edit: Here is a nice article on the rifle if you are unfamiliar with it
