Thanks for the response, Sun. The rifle has a conventional sidelock, like a hawken. The rust is light, just everywhere. It's kind of the rust you would just wipe off with some steel wool. I don't know enough about these rifles to help too much more. The fore stock has what looks like a wedge pinning the barrel to it. It may be replaceable. If I get it, I plan on rebluing it. Dumb question time. Can one blue the inside of the barrel, or just keep it oiled? I would hunt/target shoot with it. It's not really a collector to me. I would post some pics, but I really don't know how. I barely can fool around on this here darn internets. Thanks again.
