That is a wonderful family heirloom. The pre-64s are great rifles. Teddy, please take the time to absorb the family oral history which accompanies this rifle. Too often we realize, too late, that we should have asked more questions of our ancestors.
My grandfather was kind enough to have written down serial numbers and models along with notes about the history of the guns (and several guitars) that he passed along to me. It was greatly appreciated.
