Well, I got it for $330 out the door...

I think it is in better shape than some of the pictures make it out to be. I'll take some more picture and post them tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for the help guys.

Yup, 1st 99. Always liked them but never bought one before.

I'll be looking for guidance on how to clean it up without harming it. I'll do a search first though.

000 copper or stainless wool lightly wet with oil has always worked well for me on light rust as pictured on your gun. Cooper bore cleaner on the inside barrel. Murphys oil for wood to clean the stock. Let dry and follow up with Tru oil stock wax. GW

Not that it really matters, but while the rear sight looks correct, the front sight blade appears to be longer than the base and also should be level with the bore not sloped I believe or I'm I in error?

+1 with oldtimer303.. The copper wool is the first thing to try with some gun oil. It works as good as the 0000 steel wool but much safer.

Hard to beat the Big45 cleaning pad with some light oil... I've cleaned up many old firearms with it and it never scratches into the bluing.
