thanks Mark

I am looking forward to seeing it reassembled, and to think I spent all that time in Nova Scotia ankle deep in fishless rivers instead of gun shops

Rick, this gun appeared to have spent its fair share of time in blinds or marshes. It was functional, but full of dried up crud that required removal in layers. I use lotsa Hoppe's No. 9 and Q-Tips. The only thing I did NOT do, was drive out the 3 pins in the receiver. My hands do not work like they used to, and I was apprehensive about trying to get the hammers back in without proper jigs/tools. I soaked the area and used compressed air to get any filth out. Looking at a map, I will bet that Nova Scotia gets its share of inclement weather!

yes it does - unfortunately not before I went salmon fishing. As far a rough conditions, they can still hunt from batteries(sinkboxes) and the coast is often very windswept, the interior of Cape Breton has lots of wet lands.

enjoy the find
