25 2-7/8” brass shells slated to arrive today. One really surprising aspect is when opening the action you have to apply force to lower the barrels, it’s very tight. This applies to both sets of barrels.
I talked with a 86 year old retired saddle maker. He said to come on over, he had some bottles of leather conditioner he used 35 years ago with good results. I should be able to put some new life into the ancient gun case.
Looking forward to burning some coal soon.
Time to “Get ‘er done”.
