Acquired in 1982/3. It had a HEAVY walnut stock on it. with scope and sling and loaded it weighed over 12 lbs. I reworked stock and reduced weight only 1 1/2 #'S. It had rabbit ears machined off and it had a head space problem. Had receiver re-machined even f - r & drilled and tapped for scope bases, re-chambered to remove head space problem. Been that way since late 1983. As the "sporterizing" was begun, now I want to finish it. Got Bell and Carlson carbelite stock (took off another 2 lbs) having rear of receiver re-machined to a more asthetic appearance. When done it should look excellent and still be a great shooter. Even with what I have done I am in this thing quite little and I feel it is worth the investment. regards, Skip |
