I picked up an early 44 Carbine yesterday. 61xxx which by my guide is 1962(?). Its rough like its been knocked around a basement awhile but seems decent. Being an older gun, and not being a fan of guns with a lot of moving parts when fired, and being the 44 magnum is what it is, should I look out for anything before shooting it the first time? I'm assuming otc modern loads and bullets are ok to fire?
Also, I would like to know about the 4 screws on the top of the receiver. If I understand right, these are not for mounting a scope, or only two are? Two are for the action? The two larger ones are buggered up so I dont know if I should be concerned about that. I dont plan on mounting one as this will be a hardwoods and brush deer gun but wasnt sure if they came tapped or someone had it done.
Any info or insights would be appreciated.
