Well not as daringly politically-incorrect as you may think. Garands were built for war and anyone looking at those M1 sights and a 30/06 M2 Ball round will see that the whole thing was about heavy hitting, and hitting at a distance. The context sets the criteria. As an aside I read the Army is look...

Re: Use for lever action .410 shotguns?

Read once that Izmash made their 410 Saiga automatic shotgun first. For the Russian police. And not as a lessthanlethal device. So if you buy into that and the pro Judge/Governor rationale a 410 lever starts to look seriously useful.

There are few things you can walk around with that have the spirit and history of an M1. An artifact of courage, determination, sacrifice and other things. You got an awfully big medicine stick. Find that happy cadence of 200 yards rapid that puts all eight into a truck window.

Don't clean them with anything that is or contains an abrasive. They look great now, you could not improve the patina of honorable service. If you can, bottle and sell it. Be careful with the old leather, check out what real conservators do.

Hunting guns, range toys, maybe we're a little more specialized today than when these kinds of guns were cutting edge, but specialization, as we know, is for insects. I hold my levergun to be just what it was when they first came out. My rifle. For everything. Gotta have the loading gate.

As has been said, a copper wash in the bore is not a problem. Read Col. Townsend Whelen on this if you wish. Ramming and rubbing abrasives down the bore can be a problem, plus it's messy and tiresome. Clean less, shoot more.
