Well it didn't turn out half bad

Bought it off of GB and the seller grossly miss represented that there were problems with the rifle.
My first reaction was to demand my money back he balced and since I paid him with a post office money order I filed a complaint with the FTC and I emailed a copy of it to the seller. He changed his tune. In the mean time I took the rifle totally apart and after cleaning the bore I had after thoughts.
The bore is mint, shiny, sharp rifling. Had some surface rust for a rifle this age but not as bad as I first thought. Well I only payed $400.00 for it but it was the principal of the thing. Well I figured what I needed to fix it and I emailed him if he sent me back $125.00 I would keep the rifle and give him a good rap on GB but that he needed to say that his guns were as is and that he didn't know if they would work or if they had parts missing or broken inside. He agreed soooo I got the parts I needed and it's turned out pretty good. It's getting a weaver side mount put on it and I have a Waco weaver V7 wide angle to go on it. My old eyes can't see the irons that well in low like any more. Now for the sad mofo that actually ores on this rifle before me. I think he thought the magazine came out thru the top of the receiver !!! Bottom of it looks like he hit it with a ballpeen hammer. The follower spring was broken in half and the rifle hadn't been cleaned in I don't know how long the safety was broken and rusted in place. Deesh it sickens me every time I think about it.
Here it is now. And some of the bad parts.
