I was told it was purchased from the back room of a pawn shop when owner died. Took it in but set it aside and never put it out front so damage could just handling/storage.
Plus it has just enough damage I don’t feel bad about using it.
Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I can see that as a possibility. The scratch could have came from storing it with a bunch of rifles too. Moving them around or them banging into one another leaves bruises and scratches. That rifle needs to be used and loved again..
