Hello All,
I'm a new guy to the forum (From Michigan) and have been wanting one of these rifles since I was 16 and used one for the first time. I finally decided it was time 25 years later and after doing some looking I found this one. According to the Ser.# she was made in 1942, the blueing looks to be in very good shape with a few minor scratches, and the stock has some minor scuffs and dings from hunting. The bore is bright and shiny and it has no extra holes as far as I can tell but I'm no expert. I picked it up for $350 I think I got a pretty good deal.
I'm not sure if the rear sight is original to the rifle or not it was made by Marbles.
After getting some range time with it today I'm hooked and I think it's deer ready.
Jason
