Two sets of barrel markings...
Serial number and upright commercial proof are visible when the gun is assembled.
A second group of markings appear in back of the first group, not visible until the gun is stripped:
Last 2 digits of the s/n as well as the letter 'N' are on the takedown locking lug.
Forward of the locking lug on the chamber looks like...
36 & then a small rectangle or letter 'D'
I (lazy) & a character I can't make out
P (?) lazy and directly below the lug.
Case color is still present on trigger, takedown latch. Not as bright as a new Win lever action, but still there.
Any comments on what you all recommend for cleaning & preservation stuff?
Again, many thanks.
