Thanks for all the information.....as I said previously the stock is in need of some TLC (PaulNZ you gave me some hope, otherwise I may need to put a nicer piece of wood on it). The metal, other than the magazine, is in 90+% shape. This gun was definitely used and shows it but it shoots great (at 35 yds I had several groups 3/8" (five shots) with some low end Federal Target). When the weather breaks and I get the stock refinished I'll give it a more thorough testing with several brands of ammo grin
