Jeffery-

That rifle was completed without the oil-finish, with the white-line spacers and 'pussy-man' recoil pad, and chambered as such for one reason...

...so that it could sit in a perfectly suspended (neglect) idle state until you came along to steal it for too little money!

Enjoy the rifle.
I look forward to seeing the wood when you're finished 'waking it up'
