Mike - I like the metal on this; could very well be a Springfield assembled Rock Island. I'd like a '27 barrel date better. A NS marked bolt is always a plus. The stock I like somewhat less, an obvious refinish; a crisp S.A.D.A.L. cartouche and a "P" behind the trigger guard would be better. Dunno about the start price either; seems optimistic. Glad you posted it for review.
