I stumbled across this gun at an estate auction and fell in love. I did some quick educating of myself and was lucky to bring it home. It appears the gun was placed in a gun sock inside a safe and had light rust spackled all over. I think this scared some bidders off.
Based on my research I believe the gun is 100% original. Butt pad is original, receiver colors are there, bluing is 95%, and stock is still at factory spec in terms of length. Stock is in very good condition minus light scuff and handling marks consistent with age. I don’t think it was shot a ton as it locks up very tight. I spent some time on the rust with oil and a frontier pad. Under bright light the spackled remnants are still there, but I’m unwilling to take it further without a pro doing it.
Needless to say I’m pleased. Thoughts?
