Gun Cleaning, Etc.

This morning, I cleaned the guns I brought with me to Lake Havasu for the Christmas holiday.

The guns are both Winchesters, one a Model 94 and one a Model 12 shotgun. Both were cleaned and oiled.

As I mentioned a few days ago, I had problems with the shotgun after firing one shot. I think that the gun was not properly aligned (it is a take-down model) and the pump action wouldn't cock. I did some tinkering with it and it cocks fine. I'll have to give it a try-out.

That will have to wait for a few months as the weather is cold out (15°) and there's bound to be snow (eventually).
