I got it home about 1 1/2 hours ago (10:30 EDT) and stripped it down. It all came apart nicely. I did a little Lee Shaver to the barrel and it shines like the sun inside. There were a couple of light rust marks on the outside barrel which easily rubbed off. The Plug was dirty inside but no rust or anything close to damage to the threads. The trigger is very light. All in all I would say just like or very near new in box. Im delighted. I do see there is no recoil pad but when I shoot at deer I never hear the gun or feel the recoil. Adrenaline???
I did not know this gun had such a short barrel. It is very light and I have visions of using it as a deer drive gun come December. It has sling mounts. Now for a scope and mounts.
Im thinking 70-80 grains of Swiss, a wad, and 420 grain no excuses??????
