Nice deer, good to see the Thunderhawk works! I came across two different pics of the Weaver 406 bases one had the usual 2 holes and finally another with one per set.The bore looked like a goat threw up in it.But after a dose of CVA foaming bore cleaner and letting it sit for a couple hours it loosened things up.I did the traditional boiling H2O and dishsoap siphoning until it came out clean. Between I used a .50 brush on an old cleaning rod in a cordless drill.That lifts the crud between boiling H2O.Looks like a new quarter from the mint! So all I have to change is the #11 nipple for a same threaded musket cap nipple or will I need something else changed in the action? Harold...............PS already picked up a TC leather wrap for the scope.
