I just ordered a new NEF Huntsman from a local dealer. It is the stainless barrelmodel. It should be here next week. I know I need to remove the breech plug and grease it properly before shooting itthe first time, but I wasn't sure what I should do to the barrel before shooting the first time. Should I do any oiling, cleaning or other prep prior to the first shooting?

Thanks for your input. I have read this forum for several months nowand have picked up a lot of info. I hopeI made the right choice on the NEF. I wanted a relatively inexpensive stainless steel barrel break open gun. Mostguys on this board prefer this gun over some of the BPI products and I didn't want to spendthe amount neededto get a TC. I plan on putting a scope on it and have already ordered the scope mount/hammer spur from H&R.
