Make sure you take it out of the stock and check the barrel for holes. Another fellow here brought one of those home not too long ago.

I took it completely apart when I brought it home. Had to, just to get all of the cosmoline off/out of it.

That gun had tons of firing pin protrusion... and dry fired plenty well Big regret was having no spent shells to make a dummy round to see if it would chamber and "fire". Thought did cross my mind when I saw this, glad the rifle turned out to be a good one for the thread starter.
