    Sorry for the delay, I've been away in Washington DC and am just now catching up. Ser# 611998 was dug out of a guys basement that had been sitting there since he was a kid. The rifle has a "bubba barrel" and was missing the rear site assm. and bolt, I bought the entire "thing" with the hope of restoring it (The part are worth more then I paid) only to find out the receiver we damaged like it was deformed by being slightly crushed in a vise just enough so you couldn't slide the bolt all the way in. I've set the receiver on the back burner though, I'll rework it at some point and make it into a .22 or a pistol caliber rifle.

    Win some lose some...
