Farmboy91 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 While the cabinet was open I couldn't help but thinking this looked at bit sorry for itself. So, it's stripped and ready for a soak. There was a bit of damp rusty gunge under the barrel so it got a good squirt with cleanzoil and a gentle rub with 0000 wire wool. Going to give it a light oil and tuck it away for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmboy91 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I had an itch for one for ages, scratched it last new year's Day last year and haven't used it since the following May. Bout time to sort it out, then pass it on to someone who can make the most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always have a trip across the pond and buy another. Much cheaper and plenty to chose from. Have a look on Guntrader. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmboy91 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Holt's normally has a few too, I wouldn't want to buy one without giving it a once over first unless it was silly cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
