Ken,

Didn't really pay much attention to the pulls. Checked for function and any problems before tearing it down.

So far, I have cleaned surface rust from the barrel w/ electrolysis, boiled all of the metal bits in a Simple Green solution and stripped the grungy finish from the wood.

Making a new toplever spring today.

Metal bits were oiled with a combination of Kroil and 30wt, which will loosen up any surface rust. Will refinsh the wood, re-cut the checkering and then reassemble.

At some point it looks like the horn or ebony forend tip was lost and replaced with a piece of walnut. I might correct that while I am at it.

Mike
