Were it I (my 5th grade English teacher strikes again), I would . . .

- Pulls the lock and scrub it clean w/ oiled copper Choreboy (take a magnet to the store)
- Moderately (one good cycle) clean out the barrel with soap/water/patch dry,
- Plug the vent and fill the barrel with Evapo-Rust overnight.

Pour the E-R out.
Patch it dry.
Shoot it . . . and let us know
This is basically my plan. Well and replacing the frizzen and spring in addition. I'll probably get on it by the weekend, hopefully shoot it in a few weeks. I'll post pictures tonight when I get home. The rifle is really in pretty good shape other than the rust. There's like a ding or two on the stock and that's it. So it's worth putting time into. Thanks gents.
