ok i may be dense and iv been accused of worse but i honestly cant remeber reading about using bp in marlin and winchester lever guns. ive got three levers...[ all 3 marlins [[ 444 and 2 45-70's]] ]. my question is that i know they used the bp in them way long ago and these guns are still with us today. and not only with us but they are not a pile of rust either.
my concerns are twofold here;
first i cant imagin shoving the crud and fouling back down the barrel at cleaning time. it would end up inside the action and that cant be good. but the winchesters are and were kinda dificult to dissasemble to clean from the breech. the marlins are very easy to remove the bolt and lever so this is not a huge concern for me.
second is accuracy with the bp in the levers...i mean do you have to remove the bolt and lever every so many shots to acomplish any kind of accuracy or is there a trick i dont see?
the single shots are easy as they open up the breech every time and running a rod thru them from the breech is an easy thing to do.
can someone enlighten me here about this...im being kinda thick i bet as i am making this more complicated then it needs to be im betting
thanks in advance for the advise and info and kenny...let er blow bubba...lol...cant wait to hear from ya you raskal
also im questioning using the j word boolits as they will not be able to hold boolit lube on their un-naturally shiny and flat surface.
