What the hell, you could restore it. What is its intended purpose?

A friend of mine bought a later .243 99A just recently. He refinished the stock, reblued it (cold) and tried it out. Keyholes every which way.

After much fooferaw, he found out it was professionally rebored to .260, and it shoots pretty good.

Whoever rebored it neglected to re-mark the barrel, which the rollmark said was .243.

It looks pretty good now, and I suspect that after he tinkers a bit more with it, it's gonna kill a doe or two this fall.

He's got a lot of time and aggravation in it, he might as well get some use out of it.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Would you sell it to a crazy guy? If so shoot me a PM and perhaps I can make you some profit.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.
