X2.......Clean lightly only

Yep I have an old mossberg bolt action target 22 that was my great grandads from the 30's. I refinished it 20 yes ago. Was worth about 200 bucks now about 50 :banghead:

I bet that sucker would loosen the fillings in your teeth if you shot it. I don't think I'd try though.

Good deal, my brother has one that belonged to my dad's stepfather. Outside hammer with those Damascus barrels. First shotgun I ever fired and one of the hammers split my head open. Those are great representatives of our history and so many get relegated to the back of a closet.
