RE: gun finished...
Sounds like you have a rifle to be proud of.
Where did you find the new touchhole liners? I don't like the flat screwdriver one on my Lyman.
The tru-oil makes a really nice finish- I used it on my Lyman. But now I'm reconsidering... Its a bit too shiny for my tastes and I might strip it off to put on a Boiled linseed oil/ tung oil finish.[&:]
