mdarnell19 (with Bruce's help) bought this at the SOS, but made the mistake of mentioning that he was thinking of selling it to me to fund some silly scope with a rifle attached to it. I immediately stole it from him and refused to give it back. :laugh:

Its a really nice dou.45 from the no letter block. Pretty standard rifle with a few phosphate parts. Canvas sling looks very similar to the one mrfarb has, but it is stitched together on the ends. My dilemma now is whether to try for the other letter blocks (I have an a block already), but I think that may be a fool's errand.

You should totally do a full letter block series. Key letter blocks to find are "c", "d", and "e", the others are easy to find (no letter, "a" and "b". Forget finding a matching "f" block, I think all are RC's. My "e" block is the only one I've ever seen matching and original, but who knows, if I have one there must be others.
 
Beauty at its best ....Jealous..JK Very Nice example ..Sling is paper cloth ?

Very nice rifle, congratulations to it! Did you put the white color in the markings, or was it bought this way?

And Matt, you also need to tell us what you've then bought!

I didnt put the white color on it. It came that way from Mel. I just haven't cleaned it off yet.
 
Wow that is a really nice rifle. I'm surprised he gave it up? Oh yeah that whole scope with a rifle attached thing. :laugh:
 
Killer rifle, it was even better in hand! :thumbsup: I love all these late rifles found with non standard slings.
 
Beautiful rifle. Uncle Mel has an eye for the best of things .....
