This rifle is a safe queen, and was sired in 1941. It is around 90% fit and finish. Will start bugging lronbender for pictures soon. Will be asking $2,400 for this one. One heck of a classic, Alaskan gem! As usual, I prefer pm's above all else. First "I'll take it" in a pm is the winner.

Big thing is the quality of that rifle is about nonexistant in today's world unless you pay plenty. I also believe it's worth more to an Alaskan than down here. Somebody will get a great hunting rifle with no frigging plastic anywhere on it...mb Last edited by Magnum_Bob; 04/01/23.

I wish the lighting of the pics was a little better, but I can't download them to increase brightness and get a better look. I don't need one (I inherited one thru the family and have shot a bunch of deer and elk with it), but just would like to learn something by looking at a high condition pre-war gun.

How long of drive are you from Anchor Point? One needs 50 posts to send/receive PMs. There is a thread in the bottom forum (talk to webmeister) to make enough junk posts to get there.

I don't have that many constructive things say to post 50 times without making a fool of myself or have the FBI visit. :>) Can't leave my number here so maybe bearhuntr can pm me his. I used to frequent the AOD forum under another name but the covid madness killed it for me. I've forgot what it's like to be the new guy.

Until you have 50 posts you can’t send a PM, nor can someone send you one. Just go down there and list the alphabet one letter at a time. Seriously.

One can go online and pull up the information. I have no other information on this other than that the online version will give you the phone number of the seller.
