3/8" socket for breach plug...Old style plug requires a special too.
Allen wrench for stock bolts and vent liner removal. Front trigger allen screw is your bolt release. Back it out and the bolt pulls right out.
5/32" or #21 drill bit to clean carbon out of the breach plug.
Use whatever center fire solvent you like when using smokeless powder. You dont really need to clean the bore very often and they shoot better dirty anyway. Keeping the breach plug clean and making sure the vent liner is still .035 or less are the two main things to watch.
BTW if you have any issues with the barrel, I know where to buy plenty of 50cal take offs pretty cheap. Hopefully the previous owner only used smokeless and chance of rust is really low.
Just the action alone is well worth what you paid. Boyds sells cheap laminiate stocks if you dont like the tupperware stock. HS Precision and Mcmillain also sell stocks that will fit but they aint cheap.
Get your butt over to Dougs message board and read all you can. Lots of guys there will be glad to help. Dont worry about the powder. The ML-BP has the exact same quality barrel as the MLII. The only real difference is its 2" longer. Im sure one of the guys on Dougs can hook you up with the ram rod guide. Lots of us changed out barrels to 45cal and never used the left over guide.
