[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3470608, member: 34578"] Well, cleaning it was an adventure. It took me almost 2 hours to throughly clean. There was so much gunk that the holes in the action side plates were filled in. Everything was pitch black and I have no idea how it functioned at all. It was even built up under the stock line and was thick enough you could scrape it with a finger nail. I don't think the stock has been off it in years or maybe decades. To clean it properly I had to take the action apart and scrub everything inside and out. While I was there I went ahead and replaced the recoil buffer. It definitely cycles better by hand and even lightened the trigger pull a bit. Clean your firearms my friends. As Mark from Anvil would say, "Do the maintenance!". [/QUOTE]
