Ezekial said:Ya know it is a cheaper gun, but mine is quite good looking. I have dulled the brass, removed the bluing, and gave the barrel a good mustard and vinegar bath. A good wipe down of the stock with a remover followed by some sanding and a True oil finish---she looks much nicer with a "traditional" look. She really fits in place with my other more expensive rifles. As for accuracy she has delivered quite a few tree rats, quite surprising for such a "cheap" gun. I love my little Elsie and she loves me. :v "Doc"
Wayne said:Like mine . Have had it for a long time. 10 years I guess. Had it bored out to a 40 Cal not to long ago and now I like it even better. Looks like its going to like 50 gr 3f . and 25 gr for the squirrel load. Good little gun.

What a shame.
As I stated, the EARLY ones I handled "appeared to be" nice little guns. I had no idea that they had a breech cavity that was over bore size! :shocked2: Why would somebody even design such a feature into a gun?
Whatever, J.D.
