Note the P on the barrel for paint.
Good rifle, nice one!
And that little number on the magazine shouldn’t worry you the slightest. Don’t waste your money.
I think it's a nice clean honest example and would love to have it myself. The dings don't matter, it's been used. The numbered mag being different number doesn't matter either, it's a good serviceable mag. Yes, The sling should see a knife and get a P'37 for it...easy enough when asked on the WTB here. Lots of them around. How did you say the bore is? I like a shiny one myself...
Yes. This has the booger-green paint over the barrel and lower part of the receiver. It is quality stuff, now 76 years old and no signs of flaking or fading.
I might even have a sling, stuffed away in a box on a shelf. I should make an effort to look.
And the bore? We'll call it a heavy frost, but not a killer frost. Like a typical milsurp, it has some moderate shine, deep grooves with darkness, and the beginnings of the moonscape surface. It looks like it would shoot out to a bright shine in a session or two.

But I won't shoot it, even a little. It's a nice piece of history, and the forestock still looks decent from the outside. No need to split the draws up on this coachwood furniture.
A bit of scrubbing will get it right...
My MA '45 MkIII had smidges of green paint on the barrel maybe that was for tropics issue.
Still nice rifle, a drink of RLO and Min turps mix every now and then to keep the wood in fine fettle and it will last for another 76 years........
roll some cast bullets in talcum powder and shoot them that will help polish the bore
before you load them or if they hang out enough put it on from the case neck forward as long as you get it in the lube
