Thanks, my 1954 model has a very good bore and shoots very well. Someone in the past has added a recoil pad and cut the barrel to 22 inches and added a ramp front sight It also has a few blemishes on the stock.
This lowers the collectors value but not the utility and so I have used it without excessive worry on pretty much every hunt over the last year except for long range Bison. Wonderful kit.
