@RicM that looks great! Ya I guess I was "feelin lucky" that day, not only did I take out the band springs but I have stripped down the rifle completely. I'm really glad that I did that as I was able to do a deep clean on the entire "insides" of the stock. I'm in the process of applying several coats of linseed oil thinned down 50/50 with mineral spirits to get it good and hydrated so it can withstand recoil better.
My thought is that this gun is an antique in decent condition, but its not a museum piece or have high collectable value. It's got some nicks and dings here and there, and some moderate bolster burnout. Some folks had already done some minor repairs to this old girl over the years so if I added my own personal touches here or there it won't really matter.
Looking forward to shooting the rifle, but taking my time getting her ready. Once I finish with the stock I'm going to soak the bore in Kroil and brush it out real good. I put a camera down the bore and there are a few rust patches near the chamber but the rest looks pretty good with decent rifling from muzzle to top of chamber. Some minor pitting was evident in the few inches above the chamber but nothing significant. I will give the bore a good flush using some moose juice and a nipple pump. Then it will be ready... oh, well, only after I disassemble the lock, clean it up real good then put it back together, Lol
