Yep, I'm stoked! I bought 120 rd of the ammo...$360...Yikes!! EDIT:$287, not $360. That was something completely different...
And a buddy of mine gave my 50 cases he's had since the 70s.
Once I get the rifle back from the smith, I'll run my Teslong bore scope through the barrel. Even though pictures like these don't necessarily mean much, here are a few of the bore. One from the breach, the other from the muzzle.
