Shtle III* History

[browningautorifle]

Yes, No.1 MkIII*...

a danger to shoot considering the age

There's likely nothing wrong with that rifle for just shooting. You can have headspace checked and serviceability and then go ahead...just get a box of something local purchase and go ahead.

I'm not sure how you know all the information about the firing pin on the cocking piece

The back of the firing pin shows peening...you can see it. It doesn't mean it's broken or damaged though. Just that someone thought it needed more...
