Just got off the phone with the gentleman I purchased this rifle from.
I’m now understanding that yesterday may very well have been the first time this rifle has been fired in it’s restored condition.
He told me he never used it and his uncle to his knowledge had not either.
Guess the barrel will hold up through the season 😉.
I Also believe the next shots will be from my couch and not the recliner.

THANKS FOR ALL THE KIND WORDS MEN!!
It’s the kinda rifle that deserves to be seen Al was a true master gun maker.
