shoots short, long and long rifle. Looks like a Marlin 22 bolt gun. Single shot. I think this will be a rainy day project.

LakeField guns are still being made but the factory was bought by Savage in 1994. So your gun would have to be older than 1994 or so if it has the LakeField Arms name on it. Be patient with this link, as it seems to have a time delay built into it...

All Savage rimfires sold today are made in this same factory, and your gun probably looks pretty much like this one?

The AccuTrigger is a feature that Savage has added more recently. These are inexpensive, but very good guns.

One other thing to try to remove the rust, if the less aggressive methods above do not work, is automotive rust remover. It typically is a gel like compound which contains phosphoric acid (the same acid you find in Coke). Plumbing places sell phosphoric acid as well. I would apply it with the really fine steel wool, and not let it stay on too long. It has a preference to dissolve rust, but will attack sound metal if left too long. You want to quickly follow that with oil so it does not rust again. At this point you are likely into having to reblue.

If you don't have a manual for it, this current one from Savage is likely very close.
