ok, some I left out when I start the whole thing. I am the second owner of the gun, I bought it 10 years ago from a gun shop, so I don't know how it was don't know how it was cared for before I got it. I try to baby my guns as much as possible. did not fire it much between then and now, last year was the first year I hunted with it. (used a 12 ga and my dad's 30 - 30 in the past) took it out one time last year and shot it just to sight. it was with many times this year. I did not know enough at the time to look for problems. I know alot more now. if I can't find a problem or don't know where to start looking. I will just ask.
