I'm wondering which pattern you have? Would it be a black one? Not the UK/AUS/CDN version? It would have the original FH, not the slotted tube type? That could make a difference.Quote:

Great collection Sarge,
Some full auto goodness there! That said, rock and roll on a light rifle seems like a very expensive way of making a loud noise, here in the UK .308 is roughly 75p/$1 a round!
Yes, that's the FH I was expecting. Since it's the original, the one they designed to be with it, it might do a better job of keeping things steady...I haven't shot one of those on auto so I can't say. Guess I'll have to grab about 1000 rds and we can warm that one up. I remember how to clean them...I still have my kit here...Quote:

Yes, I've seen those too. They would have been there a long way back. I had one here that was about new and just beautiful...that was a long time ago...Quote:

It is still in Exc cond and I shoot it with some frequency. As said before it is one of my favorites. IF the SHTF it is one of several that I would take with me when I headed for the hills!

They were almost artwork. When I cocked it, allow the action forward under it's own power...it would ring like a bell... The outside finish was a rosy black glow, perfect, no marks or scratches. The subsequent owner made a mistake of some sort and when last seen, the rifle was going into the trunk of a cruiser and then I suspect the shredder... Sad end. It was still mint.
