The rifle arrived to-day and I'm pleased with it (for a tad under $300.00 Cdn) I didn't expect much. All the #s match-action, barrel, stock etc. Stock has been refinished but not screwed up, I will refinish and clean up the checkering as time permits - it is walnut, golden honey in colour. Reblue? later perhaps but not right away. Barrel is 21 inches in lenght with 2 grooves-it cleaned up mirror bright. Nice 3 blade rear sight, action not drilled & tapped for scope mounting but rear bridge has been altered (ground) down like on the commercial Mausers. Hope to take some before and after pics. but it will be awhile. --- John303
