Oh... so nothing really special about the old gun, besides the fact that it may of been used in a World war or two. Otherwise it's a bit of a Heinz 57 and maybe even more of a danger to shoot considering the age. Thank you Ridolpho for helping me with the manufacturer and Jim for the other info. I'm not sure how you know all the information about the firing pin on the cocking piece, but you also probably know the day it happened and the weather on that day. My mind is blown. You amazed me with that information. Thank you.
Otherwise it sounds like I have an over-sized paper weight to what I mounted a scope to. I guess I should check the head space on it before using/selling it as my research advised. I still wish it could talk and tell me more stories, but maybe it's time to retire it.
This was a No. 1 Mark III* right?
Thanks again.
