New to me 14-2

[t2203]

Sometimes things work out right. I was at work and one of the guys says hey can you help a friend of mine out and clean up a rusty smith for me. Hands me a 14-2 Dayton. I said your friend want to sell it? Yup. Tell him I have 300 bucks cash money. Calls him and says sold. Worked on it soaking for 3 days and I feel very fortunate to replace a gun I sold years ago. Came out pretty good. Should have taken some before photos.

Looks nice. Where was the rust and how did you clean it?

 

[t2203]

Was "speckled" light surface rust. Used kroil oil and hoppes and let soak and eventually lightly brushed off. Mainly by the cylinder release and yoke screw.

Well, I would say that you got an awesome deal. Wanna sell it for $350?

Nice find . I don't see many 14's with a 4" barrel .
