Recently got this handed down to me - it was originally my dad's and passed through my uncle and cousin before coming to me. I'm looking to do some hunting this season, maybe bag a Wisconsin Whitetail or at the very least aid in clearing out some of the feral pigs that are up here.
Serial number dates it back to 1979. So my reason for posting, besides just being happy about getting it and wanting to show it off, is because I'm curious about getting some work done to it. Is the WWG bear-proof ejector worth it? Is there anything I can do to (besides keeping it oiled) to ease up on the lbs it takes to cycle the action?
Also, I picked up some 30-30 Winchester JHP's and the tips are pretty narrow - more narrow than the primer. Should I forget these and stick with JSP's or the Hornady leverevolutions, or is the safety issue with JHP's in a tube mag overstated?
Thanks in advance!
