I never had so much fun as i did learning how to clean this gun. Keep in mind that i have never pulled apart a gun or tried to fix one. actually i really did not know how most of them work besides you pulling the trigger and it goes bang.
Well it all pulled apart in no time and it only took about an hour to really clean the barrel out. No prob. its not too shinny but its very smooth. I used lots of brake-free on pretty much everything. lots of dirt.. i mean a lot of dirt. I used 000 steel wool and a Gun blueing cleaner on the barrel. took off all the rust in no time. i dunno if i was supposed to but i used to 000 on the wood too. worked great! all in all it took about 5 hours but the rifle looks almost new. I tried to take pics but my digi cam is not working. i can not wait to shoot it. Its a Winchester Model 55 top loading single shot 22. there was no numbers on it. Thanks again for all of your guys help. I can not wait to pull something else apart and clean it.
