Default C grade

Thanks all for helping me clean up this lifter,it turns out that 140 years of gunk is indeed the culprit in the hard to cock hammers ,with the amount of Grouse and Woodcock hunting I'm doing, I don't have much time to finish up this C grade.Maybe late season [December] .Right now I'm using a repro and an English sidelock and occasionally a lifter in 12 ga.. All have taken Grouse this year that Hooch has pointed,so for me a banner year so far.Headed back up to camp tomorrow for another week then if the snow flies maybe track that big buck that I know must be out there. Sometimes I feel I'm the luckiest person in the world. Best to all and thank you for your help. Herb

That sounds like it would really clean. Better be sure of the electrical classification of the machine. That could be an instant time bomb depending on quality and electrical environment rating.

One day I hope to shoot one like that. What a nice gun!
