So a friend of mine recently received some of her father's things, and among them was a J.C. Higgins Model 101.13, Sears & Roebuck .22 rifle. Long story short, it's in some disrepair and she asked me if I could take a look at it.
I removed the bolt and got a half-decent look down the bore, which surprisingly seems to be in fair shape. There's a bit of surface rust, but no apparent pitting, and after just 15 minutes of alternately running soaked patches and bore brushes through it, the barrel looks shiny.
However, there's quite a bit of dirt and debris in the action. I was going to just unscrew the trigger guard and try to figure out how to get access to everything inside, then thought perhaps I should ask here if there's any tricks to field stripping this thing.
I checked YT, but shockingly there's absolutely no videos about this gun, which is how I ended up here.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
