A very nice rifle that I've never had the occasion to actually handle here...

It looks like one of the Springfield Sporters imports that were restored in the early 90's. There were ones that were mostly complete except for pertinent bolt parts and ejectors along with stripped barreled actions. Mags and bolts are mismatched but if they were set up properly, they work like a champ. I had parts made at AJP and restored 20 of them in the early 90's. I still have one and it''s a favorite. I love the .22 trainers!

Brian,
I was thinking precisely the same thing - the finish on the ejector & the .22 mag insert are both suggestive. All of the inserts Graham made for me were parked rather than blued. I still have the tooling somewhere....

Likewise - of those half a dozen you sent me over years ago I let Dave have two & completely rebuilt the other four & sold them on, all bar one which I kept for myself. Things being as they are though, I let it be prized from my grip & I now don't have a No7 to my name!

I had one that was factory original and all matching too that I imported from Canada many years ago. It may have come from C.O. for all I know. My ex got that one! I really didn't mind as the project rifles really mean more to me anyhow. I'm not really a collector anymore.

Seem's like he's selling without even firing it at the range. Won't know what he's missing! but hey! he'll probably earn enough for a night out

The price in US dollars is decent. Shot one years ago when attempting to keep sharp during those miserable winters in SK. Shot a RCAF Base Moose Jaw and there indoor range was a beauty, typical air force. They had several and everyone was a great shooter.
There was some program you qualified for and that winter got all my badges including my Distinguished Marksman gold bullet. Great gun, too bad you didn't keep it.
Have a 8, always looking for a 7, found one a few months ago but the guy wanted $2,500.00, too much IMO.
Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?
