Just got my first Ruger Old Army. (My fifth Ruger) It's 7.5" blued with adjustable sights. Serial number indicates 1977 year of manufacture. It has a few dings and scratches but seems to have been fired little. I traded a used Marlin 25MN rifle for it.
I was going to take it apart completely for cleaning but it seems like a previous owner loc-tited the frame and action screws. Is there any kind of solvent I can use to free them up?
I'm going to download a manual from the Ruger site but I was wondering does it take a special wrench to remove the nipples? Can anyone recommend a brand and size of percussion cap to use?
