I also forgot to mention the rifle is stamped DP on the stock, bolt, receiver, and barrel which worries me but it appears the previous owner fired it. Also everything thing seems to be in good condition better than a couple of some of my no1 mk 3's. I plan on checking the headspace and possibly doing a chamber cast and if need be I could get it MPI'd. Any thoughts about potential safety concerns or could it possibly be one of those rifles that was DP'd because it was deemed obsolete.
