5 digit Inland (With pics)

[sfdgunny]

Picked this up over the weekend as an impulse buy. Looked like the sum of the parts would be worth it anyway.

5 digit Inland, mostly original

Pictures by sfdgunny - Photobucket

The Good:
Original IO High-wood I cut stock and O with ordnance bomb handguard with wide groove
Original shiny (on the inside) 11-42 barrel and Type A band
Flip rear sight with no stake marks
All Inland parts (except)

The Bad:
Well-used condition! Sanded stock with no ordnance bomb or P
Two holes on bottom of fore-end for attachment of ?
One extra hole in sling well for screw
Bubba got ahold of the front sight
.U. marked bolt?

Everything except the bolt looks to me like the way it exited the factory... (amateur)
Could a blued .U. bolt be correct for this?

Someone at Jouster mentioned Du-Lite blue finish. This looks like it after I scrubbed off a good amount of orangy brown oil varnish, grime, etc.

Your thoughts. part out, "restore", keep as is, etc.
I left a note for the guy that consigned the rifle to please call me to answer about history of gun...


Thanks, Jeff
