After refinishing the stock on my friend's Remington Model 10 a few weeks ago, I've been casually looking for my next project. Yesterday I found this Remington 550-1 22LR semi-auto made in October 1948 at a local gun store for a good price, and decided to bring it home with me. The metal work is in really good condition for the age, but the stock has a number of scratches and dents to merit a refinish. I think this time I'll go with either Alkanet oil or Linspeed oil; leaning towards the Alkanet, but will decide after I get it fully stripped and smoothed to see what I have to work with.
