Yaa done good!! Good rifle, good caliber and you won't be disappointed with using Dutch Schoultz' methods. My one single point of disagreeent with Dutch is in his cleaning method. He uses a "waterless" cleaning method and I highly recommend a good washing with soapy water to get and keep your gun clean. In fact, here is teh methos that has worked for me for many many years. Remmove your barrel, remove the nipple, put the breach end of the barrel in a bucket of soapy water. Plain dish sopa works quite well and I prefer to use water is about as hot as you can comfortably keep your hands in. Wet a patch on your cleanign jag and run it to the bottom of your bore. Pump it up and down to flush the soapy water into and out of the breach. Then bring your patch up a few inches and scrub that area. Keep moving up until you have scrubbed the entire length of your bore. Remove your barrel from teh bucket of sopay water and rinse it with warm clean water to remove all of the soap. Dry your bore with several dry patches. Spray some WD-40 into the muzzle and leet it run down and out of the nipple hole. Now, run several more dry patcvhes down your bore to remove all of the WD-40. It has done its job and ther only one which it is intended to do. Next run a patch with some Birchwood-Casey's Barricade on it down the bore to protect it from rust and your barrel is done. Clean the nipple wwith soapy water, rinse with clean and dry thoroughly. Lightly apply some anti-sieze grease to the threads and replace it in the barrel. I have found the weasiest and best way to clean my lock is to remove it from the stock and take it outside and flush it with some spray carburetor cleaner. Pay attention to the hammer face and use a toothbrush to get it clean. Shake off the excess and allow it to dry. It will dry pretty quickly. Then lightly oil it and replace it in the stock. I like to wipe off my stock with a damp cloth to remove any dirt and then apply a light coat of a paste floor wax. Buff it, reassemble your clean gun and it is ready to go back in the gun safe.
This has kept my guns in pristine condition for many years.
