It had a pad and was missing the elevator for the rear sight other than that a nice shooter for the money. It might have been listed by Perry County but I can't say for sure. IMHO if your looking for a pre64 it's worth a look.

I do know where an all original 300 H&H is for a decent deal though... Me too...... While not best quality by their standard it's still better than most we see.... Nice magazine sporting rifle finished up at 2-5 Old Bond Street...

I have one but in my foolish youth I restocked it but in my defense someone had free floated the barrel with what looked like a chain saw. I have been looking on and off for a nice clean original from the 50's, saw this and jumped on it.

Seems fitting since both my parents were born in '56... Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

GSPfan Campfire Regular G Joined: Dec 2014 Posts: 2,962 Mid Michigan	Ok I have definitely failed the 12 step program...again....I now need either a rear sight for a FWT or a blank to fill in the space from the sight and a front sight hood. Anybody have these parts or can point me in the right direction?
