Well it seems my luck regarding purchasing guns over the net is running true to form. You may recall the saga of my 9.3x57 husqvarna 98 mauser. Well I'm here to tell you that murphy has not left the building. I picked up from my dealer a remington 141 in 35 rem caliber. Really nice blue with few flecks of rust and an almost mint bore. Sounds good don't it??. Clean the bbl and it really looks great. Pumping the slide back was a real bear though. Ok since its a takedown just loosen the takedown screw and separate the receiver from the frame. Piece of cake, yeah right.The two pieces would not slide apart. Sqirted some breakfree in there. Still no good. I did have oil weeping from the frame receiver joints so I know its there. And now I know why the internal section of the receiver was so dirty, the last guy couldn't get it apart
either. And this thing came with a lyman rear tang sight thats in really nice shape. Swabbed out the interior and will probably send it back early this week. As a matter of fact the bolt did get jammed in the rear position and the only thing that released it was removing the takedown screw and gingerly twisting the receiver-frame halves. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHH!!!!!.
