    I don't want to jump ewall's post..... I'm curious to what he decides to do.

    I just added this one because I and maybe most wouldn't expect it to be even some what 'Accurate'.
    But when it was delivered by the friend who brought it up and after I stuck that Springfield round in it, I got a light out to look. Fully expecting it to have been Counter bored.
    I remember that day first time shooting it. Was one of those 'Shaky days'. When you know you've got a flyer as soon as the trigger trips.

    Counter bored- I guess it has been..... the long route, about 16 thousand+ rounds. I actually have it dialed in pretty close at 50 now.. for what it is. For what I paid I was happy to get the S'G' receiver and internals for the $400. Only import I own. Shoots straighter as it gets caked up inside.
    Oh and it had a Cast hammer in it, 1st I'd ever seen in use. I have extra barrels but still have fun with this one. Sorta like buying a beater to drive in the Winter.
    Remember when we could buy a $100 or $200 beater for the winter and get a few years out of it before you'd sell it for more than you paid ?
