My first 81 chambered in 35

Here's a teaser to a new aquisition.
What we have here is a 81 from 1948 with a Redfield peep in the classic 35 Remington. The condition of the blue is the best I have on any spring-pole. The wood is very nice also. Doing a full clean up will have to wait, everything feels good with it though. Once that happens it'll be Range Day.
Here's to the not so clean part of it. I don't believe it's been apart since new "atleast the shroud", none of the screws are buggered up anywhere. The barrel nut and bushing came off with ease. The inner workings of the of the shroud show it was certainly time for some maintenance!
There was 2 things this gun needed upon arrival, fortunately I had them in my small stock of parts. I had to put on a sight blank and a sling loop on the barrel to top this gun off.
More to come eventually.
