Hi All,

Took my new-to-me model 110, .30-06 to the range today. It was built in 1987 but has sat in a closet somewhere, rarely being shot all it's life. I oiled it lightly but after a few shots the magazine would not come out for love nor money. I shot it as a single shot, zeroed the scope and brought it home. The magazine released with a bit of coaxing after getting home and it was dry as a bone. I oiled the gun again and it started working fine.

Is the magazine release a common problem with these guns? I didn't know if this was the case or if the rifle had sat so long that the metal soaked up the oil because it had been dry for an extended period.

Any thoughts or input is appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Fred
