thanks and i know there should be no rust on a fire arm but this gun was my papaws that got cancer so it was in storage for quiet some time before i could get my hands on it. i am going to try to take it to a gun smith tomorrow cause i really think i am getting myself into some thing more than i can handle. if he tells me some thing i can do at home i will post pictures of what i broke and what not. you was right its a ramrod sorry im new to the whole hunting scene. thanks for the reply though
