Eatly S'G' coming my way

[phillydude]

Scored a somewhat good deal yesterday. 1.8 mil Saginaw S'G', I-high wood stock, type 1 band, unstaked milled adjustable rear sight, $300. That's the good, the bad is its missing the trigger housing and internals, slide and bolt. Non-import and muzzle is slightly less then a 1, waiting for it to be shipped to my FFL , so until then no pics, good deal or bad ?

The rest shouldn't be too hard.

$300.

Should be OK. Place a WTB here and the parts should be easy to find.

I didn't know S'G' ever used Marlin barrels.

Great deal. Worth more in parts..
Not raining on it but they worked on assembling first and second blocks at same time. 1.8 might not be early.
Does it have round or square ear profile on left rear of receiver?

I see nothing about grand rapids using marlin barrels. Does it have a proof "P" on it? Pics

Mailed payment out yesterday, I won't get it in my hands for at least a week or two, here is one pic I have

[browningautorifle]

And a hi-wood, "I" cut stock. Nice, nice. That should be marked. Long range potential here...as for the barrel, probably replaced during one of it's half dozen trips into the weapons shop...over the 70 years. Depends if you're going to make it restored or a shooter I guess.

Correction, I had a brain fart when I wrote this post, it has a buffalo arms barrel not a marlin

Phillydude 09; Lancaster, PA here. Looks like a great project gun. Have fun getting it back into shooting order.

Buffalo barrels were used at the Grand Rapids plant.
It just got better
