Do you ever take it off the wall for a loving trip to a range?
I have one and a half doz cases of reproduction ammo for it.
The old rifle goes every time the Grandchildren are along on a range trip.
Back in the early seventies when I took the 1890 on trade I could still buy lead bullet ammo and that ammo caused me to think I needed to sleeve the barrel. With the reproduction copper washed (I believe) ammo I have never had a flyer.
With the old ammo I was key-hole-ing about every other round fired or more.
My rifles Serial no. 4563xx
