Fellas, I also want more "facts" about this fine piece of art I've been charged with its stewardship. But, I'm also searching for the nitty gritty detail. The previous owner was a young dealer I was blessed to deal with. Good guy, but not great about gathering details. That's ok. We'll figure it out here.
This is no Featherweight, as you all already know. I love the feedback here, and will bust my a$$ to help with identification or work done. I have been all over this rifle and my personal opinion is: 1. I don't give a rat'$ ass if someone says the barrel has been reblued. That's all good!! in my favor.. 2. I don't think this rifle has been fired... much.. ever. 3. If you disagree with me on #2, I don't care. I have my opinion and reasons for saying that. 4. Yes, the stock finish is mesmerizing.. and I also think it's refinished. But, why?? I just don't know what went on there, myself. However, I'd love to watch it done again! I don't think it's original. But, they didn't make many of them, so could be some hybrids I don't know about.
I love the feedback here. Keep it up fellas!
