The old girl deserves to be exercised once in a while, she will be happier if shot and cleaned now and then. After a few days I go back and re oil and wipe down if long term storage is planed.
Wish I still had the 1st model Dragoon I had to sell 28 years ago.
We would shoot that with the same charge of DuPont FFF I used for my 1860 clone.
When I sold it I had to prove it shot well for the buyer. He still has it.
