I have a 30-30 Winchester 94AE Legacy, serial # 627xxxx. The action is grabby when you begin the downward cocking motion with the finger lever to open the breech. The hammer has a really heavy feel and is hard to push back using the finger lever during the cocking procedure. The breech is hard...

Stocks cleaned up ok in water with a light scrubing. Dried them off well and then oiled the threading, cleaned off the excess. Looks like new except for a small place that is chipped out on the bottom. I thought about brake fluid for the metal. I had used it before to clean paint off of plastic...

32 S&W It appears to be working ok. Everything seems straight and nice and tight. It looks like it has been through 2 or 3 wars though. Bad shape appearance-wise. Needs cleaning up and oiling. What the heck, it was free. Thanks.
