    Bubba done it again

    I thought I was done, had enough, then saw this un. My heart throbbed, eyes tears up, and had it shipped home. Just picked up today. Since my previous bubba-un-done threads don't have pictures anymore, and I failed to keep the originals organized, I suppose I'll do another.

    Here is what we are starting with.



    There is no U on the upper band, but you can clearly see the "R", which is a rare find indeed! Hopefully the nut on the screw isn't there because the band is stripped out.

    At first look it seems to have all it's parts but the upper band - and everything has beautiful, proud showing R's.


    The barrel has worn parkerizing, with clear stamp 7-42, and hasn't been cut back. We'll check the bore when we get it all taken apart for detail cleaning. Hopefully it's not a sewer pipe. The action was clean with light oil, let's hope that means it was well maintained and the bore is in good shape.
