I took the old girl out to the range at lunchtime today.......All the bullets except one went through the target sideways!....But I kinda knew that would happen since you could drop a bullet down the muzzle about two inches before it hit anything resembling rifling! The 38-40 liner from Brownells is on its way...
Here are a few pictures:
Not bad for a $400 rifle!

A huge chunk was missing so I sanded out a wedge shape and cut a piece of walnut I had laying around...Super-Glued it in place....sanded to shape....and stained with Minwax Gun Stock Red stain.....Not bad!
