with regards to parts being warn this is a new rifle that I am just trying to get ready for hunting this weekend. I was using a barrowed rifle but the guy who owned it did not take care of it. rusted nipples barrel etc so I figured I am better off trying to get a new rifle working on short notice than use a mishandled non maintained piece of junk.

Caps are new Bought them last night.
