knowledge is everything; I learned that a long time ago. Problem with auctions is that you can't tear it down to check for numbers usually and hopefully you'll have a chance to check the bore; although I am not a bore guy and forget many times to look.

0000 steel wool or better yet, copper steel wool 0000 and some oil cleans up the finish very much without hurting the bluing at all. I have had some guns clean up very nicely after some judicious and careful cleaning.
