Thanks, I don't plan to pull the seer.
There is a latch on the side of the gun that is almost immovable as it is .
which would no doubt be part of taking it apart. I don't plan on taking
vice grips to the thing to take it apart at this point. I only clean the
barrel with the provided rod that sits under barrel and the interesting
cleaning tools in the butt of the gun (whereby my finger often gets caught
between the spring loaded door while pulling the cleaning pod out).
The whole damn gun is simply interesting to me. The funky wood stock and
then the internal mechanism which is well put together . . such a contrast.
The oil is still on the gun. . a minor amount. . but enough to be there ..
liked they dipped the gun in the stuff before shipping it off. Also has a
funny smell.
