[QUOTE="gremcat, post: 202456, member: 10148"] Ok so I tried to bed a model 70 myself and all [EMAIL="#@$%"]#@$%[/EMAIL] broke loose the screws got bedded into the pillars and I broke the trap door piece trying to get it out That same day I did the job out on my porch (which is covered )and went to work only to return home to find we had some bad weather and now my rifle was starting to rust .So I scrapped the stock put it back in the walnut stock and cleaned the crap out of it .However there is still a few small rust spots in the action where the bolt slides.I have since sent the rest of my rifles to my friends gunsmith shop to bed to new stocks ,etc.But hate to give up on this gun Should Ihave it reblued ?Will thet help inside the action?Also the barrel has a small ding in the outer edge of the crown should Ihave it cut down or just have the gun taken apart rebarreled and then reblued?Is it even worth it or do I just buy a new deer rifle and chock it up to experience?Is the rifle even worth anything at this point?:confused: [/QUOTE]
