This No 5 followed me home recently The least butchered of the two I was offered.
No real need for a heart transplant as all the serial numbered parts save the magazine match. Just a little cosmetic surgery. I thought the barrel had been cut as the crown looks boogered.
I don't think she was fired much as it is quite clean with as nice a set of timber as I have seen.
The previous owner installed Williams sights but most of the the bubba holes should be covered by the upper handguard and flash hider. The missing handguard should be easily replaced with a modified #4. I have a repro flash hider I polished most of the casting marks out of which will do if I cant find an original. I see some rear 800m sights on e-bay etc.. which I fear may be reproductions.
Any advice as to were to obtain an original flash hider and or 800m rear sight would be appreciated.
