a neighbor who is new to our area came by with a pristine older renagade .54 cal. said the trigger didnt work any more. well it was pristine on the out side however the barrel was totaly and completely rusted out. was last fired 10 years ago and most likely not cleaned at all after fireing it. also some thing had hit the hammer so hard when cocked every thing in the lock was sheared off. even the blueing on the barrel was really good but i have never seen a barrel so rusted out on the inside. it always makes me said what was a really nice piece of machinery is so sadly neglected. some are ment to shoot muzzle loaders and some arent. he really keeps his pickup truck in perfect condition but this gun was another thing. i dont know how this post will be of interest to any one except that we all feel good about how we treat our guns. their my babies and they may get nicked and dinged but they are clean.
