Re: Searching for info on old Springfield .22
Steve99f, thanks. I think I get the meaning of what you're stating. You're saying that the Savage Model 3 was introduced in 1933. Then it was renamed later as a model 53 or 83.

Re: Sears 3T
I should get a clear coat of some kind and seal it. It probably will be ok as is; and if it does get discolored, scratched, etc., I can always use 0000 steel wool again!

Re: Sears 3T
Rifleman, I just used some flat black spray on my Colteer. I left the 3T bare. Your rifle is also a Sears 3T or a Winchecter 190/290? If you get some more pics, be sure to post them.

Re: Sears 3T and others
Here are some more of the ones I've refinished.
And here's a picture of the Marlin model 81 that I found in the Boise Gun Shop. I haven't done anything to it; doesn't need it. Really shoots well.
