I haven't checked this thread in a couple of days. I appreciate all the input!

I went by yesterday to have another look, but the owner of the store wasn't there and the guy covering him wasn't able to haggle at all. They're asking $189, but I'd like to be closer to $150 or less on it considering it's a restoration project. I honestly don't know the fair value on one this old, but it seems most sporters are around there.

The magazine at closer look has had the SN changed. The previous is crossed out and the SN to this gun has been stamped on it. The SN on the rear sight matches, but it doesn't have the windage adjustment (though I have found a place that appears to have one for replacement). It has the mag cutoff slot, but the cutoff has been remove (have located several of those).

The forestock matches in color and all to the rest of the wood on it, but I don't see any indication of there ever having been a volley sight on it. I also don't see anything on the safety area that indicates there was one there. But I have no idea what that should look like had there been one. The No 1's are new to me, but I've been wanting one.

I didn't pull the magazine, but I will when I go back, assuming they still have it. The bore is dirty as hell, but the rifling looks good. I couldn't get a real good look at the end of the rifling, but it almost looked like it had been counterbored. Did the Brits do that? It might also be that dirty. My No 4 looked like it barely had any rifling, but when I cleaned it it had great grooves left.

If anyone has a line on the proper stock with the volley sights, let me know. Thanks again!
