You will love it! I’ve got one made in 1951 that I won’t part with.

There's one I would like to see. Years ago, a guy here in so. Idaho was hunting out in the sagebrush. He shot a large buck and needed both hands to drag it out so he laid his 30-30 against a sagebrush to come back for it. He couldn't find it.
Forward 30 years...he was hunting in the same area and there it was, still leaning against the sagebrush. The summers in sage country are pretty sunny and there's lots of UV. I doubt it was coated with UV resistant varnish. I wonder what it looked like.

Very nice work! How does the bore look? I bet the action is smooth as silk.
