Willie, thank you very much for the detailed instructions. I'm just getting back into shooting after many years away. I appreciate the refresher and new (to me) tips. I certainly did not know about the carb' cleaner and I'll need to pick up a decent one piece coated rod. All I have now is a multi-piece steel rod. I feel more confident now that I won't make matters worse. And I don't believe the barrel is rusted <whew>, but I'll find out soon enough.

Yes, I hope to pass on this rifle and the love of outdoors, hunting, and heritage. I plan on catching an Appleseed course soon. While relearning to shoot, I might as well do it right. All our kids are 700 miles away and grown. But I know a couple young men that might be interested in joining me at the course.

Thanks again,
Andrew
