Charcoal cannon

Picked this up tonight. It was in the proximity of a fire. Wood is burnt bad enough that its not usable but wasnt burnt off the gun. Gonna try to find somewhere that can test the metal for me to make sure it is still where it meeds to be hardness wise. It was a 25/06. If the action is usable i plan to have it re barreled to 444 marlin. It is/ was a Ruger #1.

Can anyone point me to a reputable business that can test the metal for me. Know im gonna have to replace all springs and any plastic that was on the gun.

Alton should have everything and would know what it should be...Dont know why i didnt think of that earlier

Since the wood appears only sligthly burned, I would say the metal is OK. I don't think the metal got hot enough to do damage.

.

yea all springs would need to be replaced and since your replacing barrel anyway it should be fine run it by one day and i will check it out spray it down with wd 40 to stop the rust

Thanks.

Im gonna pull the stock tonight and spray it down good. Was too tired after work to fool with it last night.

Can you handle the rebarrel on this alton?

I want a tapered octogon barrel for it....
