    I made the trade this afternoon. No surprises from the photos other than the stock has more than one crack. All are minor and easily repaired. The action works nice the bore is shiny and crisp, no indentations or bends that I can detect from the import stamp. I did my own bullet test to be sure and it looks better than the photo showed so probably in the 1.5-2 range. He took it apart for me and showed me the interior, no rust or pitting anywhere. Finish is uniform throughout. I'll have to research to see if all the parts are US or not but it will serve my purposes nicely in any case. One thing I don't like is the cross grain sanding. I'll probably work that out of it. Looks like they sanded a rack number off of it.

    I can't believe how tiny and light this thing is. I've looked at them in the past but never actually picked one up that I recall.

    Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. It's one less rifle I have to seek out. It's not perfect but I wasn't looking for perfect.
