Was my late Uncle's since new.
Inherited in 2012
Had been unfired for no telling how long... but long enough for the following malady to materialize... Still shot OK but something was "amiss". Once torn down the edges of the seal looked "off"... peered down the receiver tube with a flashlight and the rest was like jigsaw puzzle pieces stuck to the perimeter of the transfer port.
Cleaned out the remnants and replaced the seal (leather) a while ago, and now she gets shot fairly regular. Well worth the effort.
