Ok, I soaked all the metal parts in Mineral Spirits and cleaned them with a toothbrush. I then re-assembled the bolt. I then sweated out lots of cosmoline from the wood. I used a hair dryer. I figure this is pass one, and it will need it again. I then reassembled the rifle. All the serial numbers match, except for the bayonet. The bayonet lock in place seems to work fine, but the bayonet is too tight for the rifle. Gurrr... It will require some honing or a tapered metal bar to open it up. The bolt also seems very tight and hard to work. I am pretty sure I put enough gun oil on it. The rifle looks to be in great shape.
Now I just want to make sure the gun is safe to shoot. Of course I don't have any ammo for this either. Maybe on Sunday I will take it up to St. McMiller and pray with it.
