Just like the title says. I'm not picking it up until tomorrow, so I figure I'll just pick up anything I need along with it. Then, of course, pictures will follow. This is my first .22, my first rimfire gun, and my first lever gun. My main questions are:
Will my .223 brush and bore snake work in it? I don't see why it shouldn't.
Can I dry fire it? If I recall correctly, snap caps are a must for rimfires.
What kind of break-in am I looking at? Are there going to be any FTFs, FTEs, or such until it's broken in?
Do I have to oil the stock?
Are there any cleaners/oils I should avoid? I have Hoppe's #9 cleaner and oil, Rem Oil, and Mirachem cleaner/degreaser.
Is there any particular ammo that these guys like?
What can I shoot out of it? Anything other than .22LR?
I'm super exited about this, as I've really wanted to pick up a .22, and I've been bitten by the lever action bug. It's also been bothering me lately that I don't own any guns made in the USA(Taurus, Benelli, Bersa, and an Izhvek 91/30). I'll be bringing this little guy to the range on Sunday to break it in. Thanks in advance!
