I picked up an older 110FP in .223. Could be a nice rifle.

Bad news, it had a really really bad duracoat job. Looks like the guy just pulled it out of the stock and didn't do anything else before he sprayed the coating on. Plus the bore was really filthy.

Cleaned the barrel for about 20 minutes. Finally got it clean. Looks good.

Stripped the coating with MEK, a tooth brush, and some 000 steel wool.

Spun the barrel off, took it apart. Looking better.

OK. How do I get the mag off the action?

The barrel and action are now pretty much bare steel with some Parkerizing still on it.

Any recommendations on what to do to coat the steel? Bluing, Parkerizing, or ??? Not really wanting to Duracoat after seeing how bad the job was on this rifle.

Thx.
