Daveinmt: Wow! What a small world, and pardon my slow reply - I have been up in the high country Hunting elk (gone for 7 days) and then I have been Deer Hunting each morning and most afternoons since!
I have as yet to find a flaw with your former Rifle - you and your friend sure kept it in perfect condition.
Thanks for the heads up on that Browning 1435 F.P.S. ammo - I saw some of it somewhere of recent.
I have already had one offer to buy the Rifle from one of my Gophering friends but I put him off.
Any idea as to what year it may have been manufactured (originally sold to you)?
Thanks again for the background and I will treat it "kindly" as you had.
Hold into the wind
