Thanks for the info!!!!! I would not have even thought about taking the rifle apart and degreasing. Frontier Gander, should I stay witha low powder chargeor is that just a starting point??? What size powder charge do you currently use??Suggestions on a good oil??? And now a stupid question, How does the 209 primer sit in the breech plug???? Thanks!!!! All info is greatly appreciated. I hope more will reply. Thanks again, Scott Woody
After i put a good recoil pad on my staghorn, i'll up my charge to 80 grains of pyrodex p and leave it right there. Starting off with 70 will be good.
I wouldnt go over 90 grains as the recoil will be a good stiff jolt. I used to use rem oil but now ive stopped oiling my barrel. But when you clean the trigger/ trigger area i use a coat of birch wood casey Molly lube in a spray can, Shake it up good and just a light coating. Keeps rust out and actually helps smooth out the trigger a good deal. If you are the type that likes to oil the barrel, use rem oil in a spray can, coat a patch, run it down the bore a few times and give a few minutes to dry, then run a dry patch down to soak up any extra oil. Its a real simple rifle to clean.
