Hi All,
I picked this rifle up if for no other reason that I needed a CGH to complete my Suhl set. Matching metal, but appears to be a probable sporter rescue. While most of my stuff is proper grade, I'm a sucker for poor abused rifles if they are rarer makers.
The Good:
-Original finish
-Matching bolt, tg assembly, screws, etc.
-It's a CGH
The Bad:
- Bubba bolt bend
- Drilled/tapped for a peep sight on the receiver near the bolt handle.
-stock/bands are replacement (though damn close SN on the stock -- 1898 vs 1858 receiver #)
- Stock was sanded
Some light vise marks on the receiver ring (maybe from drilling and tapping.)
Even with the issues, I like it. Most likely will complete the restoration and hold onto this until I find a bolt mm or better to match my other Suhlers.
