I picked up a used Marlin C3030 from another forum
This is my first lever action rifle and I know very little about them.
There's not a whole lot about the C3030 online. All I can find out is that it's similar to a Model 336.
I already did some clean up and removed the surface rust using WD40 and '00' steel wool.
Bore cleaned up pretty well too with a wire brush.
My concern is that with the amount of rust on the rest of the rifle, the cylinder magazine could be pretty bad too. How do I get to that to clean it?
Anyone have any advice in general for lever actions as far as maintenance, things to check, etc. ?
Also any recommendations for .30-30 ammo? I'm assuming it has to be a rounded bullet for use in a lever action with cylinder magazine, right?
