Rung barrel!

[Rick Mulhern]

Where is the ring? Does it still shoot reasonably?

The 'ring' is about 10" aft of the muzzle! I have never fired this rifle and whomever owned it treated it like onto a stepchild; apparently didn't own any cleaning materials at all. The bore was filled stem to stern with rust but once I started using some Hoppe's with a bronze brush it cleaned up pretty well. I've got to clean the entire rifle tomorrow; been busy with other things last two days but when I get it cleaned I'll reassemble and see what goes with it!
