Loading supplies should be in the mail today and believe me I will be shooting it! Thanks a lot for the link I'm going to try the vinegar for sure. It already had a 21 on it, you can see the "shadow" in the patina. If you get a chance Kaywoodie check out that gunbroker link I posted and let me know what you think of my rifle. Couple questions.
What are my options for installing a period correct sling?
Can I get more info on the rifle other than date of manufacture from the Cody museum?
