Wood and metal are in decent shape for its age. The action is SLICK and I'm surprised to see about 90% remaining case colors on the breechbolt. Most pics I've seen show bright bolts.
I'm not a shotgunner. But this old girl fits like it was made for me. Close my eyes and shoulder her and she lines up perfect. Maybe I can hit more than air with this one?
Gonna take her to pieces for a good clean/ lube.
She took the last spot in the cabinet, so that means I'm done buying guns.
Right?
so sorry to learn of your illness Muddly! Terminal. must be terminal if you are done buying guns. only a terminal illness is an excuse to cause such a drastic action! grin
