correct the nose cap and fore stock were held on by screws through the cap and into the barrel.
Cool well that was easy. The bore isnt in too bad of shape. Reckon Ill keep it and build one one day when i can afford to acquire all the parts. My. 45 mountain rifle is priority at the moment lol.


Appreciate the help
 
Look at the kaakaa that came out of the first patch!!! Looks almost like steel shavings. Nice n shiny now
