Re: No. 1

Mark.Clean your rifle as you would a regular hunting rifle.Oily rag no steel wool any original finish must be preserved.Over the years I have seen too many nice firearms that have been ruined by someone that thinks it should be shiny.

I am sure no expert on these rifles,but I have a couple of questions about it.
How much does it weigh and does the rear barrel sight appear to be factory installed ? Nice rifle. Bob
