The results are....
I got it for $109 cash out the door.
Its indeed a 512 X in good shape and wasn't shot much.
Rifling was bright, but kind of scratch looking. not sure about that because there was no cleaning rod crown wear.
The "heat discolor" was the whole thing has case hardening color so its kind of neat
Some finish crazing but in good shape. Needs a good rub down though.
I ran a bunch of live rounds through the action and it didnt eject up a few. I think I need to give it a good spa treatment and I suspect it ejects spent cases better.
The rounds eject when cycled with some authority except the last one because there isn't a magazine round pushing things up.
It may not be a good youth trainer if the bolt needs to be worked harder, but overall im happy with it.
Oddly its new enough to have a orange magazine follower tip which seems out of place for a 1960s rifle
It will look good next to my 510, cz452, marlin 39, and 121 pump.
the souless newer 22s will have to stay on the other side of the safe away from my walnut stuff.
Its hard to believe how good the wood & metal was on these older guns and that the CZ 452 is similar and considered a much higher end 22 now.
