I have a 1941 dated LB serial number 1L2525, it has the round cocking piece and all correctly numbered, woodwork, mag, bolt, action only thing is it has the words on top of the receicer "regulated by fultons" Have been thinkg about getting it filled in and redone,

Any views?

[bigduke6]

I would leave as is Steve, possible that there is a collector of only " fultons regulated rifles " ? just my view but its always tempting to improve something that aint broke.
Hope to see you in the early days of the new year so you can collect your late christmas present to yourself.
