Hello all,
I just bought a new Lyman Deerstalker yesterday and am very excited to shoot it. But I got to wondering if there is anything I should do to it before I shoot it? I do have some flintlock experience,but I know Dad and I didn't do anything special to our first flintlock before we shot it. Our first one was Traditions Buckskinner. I hope this Lyman will be better the Traditions has been nothing but problems since day one.
I know not to clean with regular gun cleaner (Hoppe's and such) but should I clean it with Hoppe's now to get rid of any grease or oil left over from shipping or the manufacturing process?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
