I bought this from a friend
Before




I disassembled the whole gun,used brasso on brass,lemon oil on the stock and used gunscrubber on the lock and trigger parts then new oil.used foaming bore cleaner with a brass brush inside the bore untill I got clean patches then oiled the bore.Here it is now






The knife is a custom made by a fireman friend of mine,the wood matches real nice.
I am pleased with the results and had a good time doing it.I think I would like to do another.

nice work there!!!Some of you people do excellent work rehabing those mzs!!

To paraphrase a line from the "Dirty Dozen".....

"She's mighty purty, but how does she shoot???"...

Good job enjoy!!!

Man, I'd whoop that youngin in the picture fer lettin that gun get that bad. Just kiddin, that's my boy and a gun that I picked up but never used it. Glad to see it put to good use.

Careful talkin about that boy,he is pretty special to me Mr bigtimer.
I cant tell you how tickled I am to have this rifle and to know it came from some mighty fine people makes it even better for me.I become very attatched to my hunting equipment,I cant wait to work up a good load for it and go hunting.

Very nice job.... Its nice when a rifle gets a new chance. You made it very pretty. I am sure it will shoot fine.

Thanks for answering all my nagging questions Dave,you were very helpful.
It is pretty but I plan on using it.

Just amazing what a difference a little elbow grease can make. Really looks nice !!!!!!!

Hope you have as much fun shooting it as you did restoring it.

Good job, that really cleaned up nicely. Now go have fun. And welcome to the wonderful world of sidelocks. You will be hooked.

Thing of beauty. Good job. Thanks for saying what worked on this. Chap Gleason
