Tongue in check, but this has to be one of the worst examples I have seen. Poor girl has had a rough life.
It was up for auction towards the end of last year and I threw a low dollar bid on it due to what appeared to be some issues. A friend wound up bidding on it because he wanted the scope off of it. He won it, took the scope and sold me the rifle for a reasonable sum I couldn't turn down. As I have never seen one of these for sale in person, I thought I would add it to the collection. He shot it before removing the scope and said it shot less than 1" @ 100 yds. More than adequate for me. And now I have one in my technical reference library.
I am looking for a rear sight and front sight. I do not wish to install a Lyman 48 on it unless I cannot find an option for the rain. Several are available online, but I am hoping to find an older vintage sight set. I will eventually scope it, once my already terrible eye sight completely fails.
