That is great advise.
At this time I only have about 300 into the gun so I am doing what I can.
I remember my first enfield 303. Didnt know a thing, but now its old hat and simple work
Ive already challanged barrels.
Bottles of hoppes, rem oil and p scotch brite scrub pads for the bore and I must admit its looking very good.
Ive done everything I can to protect the patina, and avoid any scratches.
Its obvious the gun was an everyday shooter to someone, and 130 years of grime is hard to remove.
Ill post photos of the barrels in the AM they look so much better

Im going to next tackle the disasembly of the stock.
Any diagrams that anyone knows of would be helpful.
Ive seen a few, but looking for the best I can find.

I think most of what needs to be done I can do myself, but I wont know until I get into the trigger and hammers.

Thanks everyone Its nice to see some support here
