I stoped at a gun store and got a black diamond stainless ml w/bass rings and a beat up weaver scope (no sights) 11 nipple...for 40 or 50 bucks(i thought I put fifly on the counter but he asked you need change so he gave me 10 back...maybe I put 60 down)....i'm thinking the parts alone are worth it...I took the gun apart and shot some wd40 down the barrel and I tried to take the breech plug out ...i should have knew better than to use the ramrod thing in the vice to stop it from turning stupid I snapped the screw that holds the ramrod holder on.....breechplug is soaking still.....some times its the little things that drive me crazy
