    Jim, You do have a point. But I did say other than being drilled for scope mounts. I'm going to grab the rifle just because, once I have it in hand I'll decide what to do with it. at $200.00 not much to lose on this one. I have enough original parts (less a barrel) to bring it to an original configuration or even to a really nice hunting rifle for one of the kiddies.

    No, that's nothing to lose. It's still a serviceable sporter in .30 cal and would likely do a teen boy his whole life as his starter/main hunter.
