i loaded them how they said... give me an email i can send you the pics... new to forum doing the best i can
it's not rare for pics to be a PITA, don't worry about it! :thup:
Of course, as a one-time military rifle with a full-length stock, it is clear that the stock has been cut down. Look up a few photos in the internet to gauge the proportions, and you can judge that the remaining barrel ring has also been set back. A replacement stock may be reckoned to be a piece of unobtanium, so you are in for some serious woodwork if you want to restore it to its military appearance.
was more interested in what it is worth... ? the stock was modified but looked as old as the gun. the barrel seems full size, action and barrel look good.
I see these sell with full length stock in the neighborhood of $350.
Frankly, those that bring $350 are in better shape than your example.
The value of yours would be the sum of its parts. Maybe $200 or $250.
For which there is a separate "Appraisals" forum.Quote:
