This Sunday, I found and purchase a H&K 770 in .308 win, at a very reasonable price. In fifteen years, this was the first H&K 770 that I have seen in a gun show. I currently have a H&K 300 and 630. This H&K 770 was one of the first to be imported, it has no muzzle flash hider. It was a little rough, but cleaned up very well. The bluing on the barrel was good, but the bluing on the receiver action cover was worn off from being carried. I removed the cover, degreased, heated and touched it up with Van's Instant bluing. It now looks good for a 30 year old rifle, this will eventually be hot blued. The buffer was cracked and beginning to break up. I replace it with a new one. Stock has a number of handling dings. Major fault is someone wiped a dark polyurethane finish over the factory finish and did a poor job. Stock needs to be striped and refinished. Yesterday, I milled inserts for the action cover holes and a scope mount base for it. It is now ready for a scope. I will post pictures later.
