At what point do you call it a "new gun"

To keep the memories, hang it up and get a new one is my vote. I've got a MkII 204, works good.

all that matters is it puts the bullets where you aim.

JB bore paste it, that will clean most, but if it shoots I wouldnt waste my time

Pass it on to someone you who you think would appreciate it and use it ... maybe a keen young buck who wants to get into hunting. They should consider it on permanent loan until they pass it onto the next chap. Keep the passion alive ...

just linseed oil the stock mate, if barrel shoots fine then leave it(maybe you could cold blue it), any luck sorting that odd miss fire?

Yip changed amo and haven't had a misfire scince. Got to admit it was strange that 3 different types of amo miss fire for me and have now changed again and all is good again ,after 2 boxes none misfired

if its miss fireing disassemble the bolt and give it a good clean
should be sweet after that, or the fireing pin might need a touch up on the tip by a gunsmith, clean it first tho

Done all that and had it to a gun smith a couple years back and was told it was fine.
