Amazing pick up!
I'd say this old girls been carried a lot & not fired too often - hope that's about to change for you LRF!



Thanks and I hope to take it out soon. (we are having a major snow storm today so I will pass until better weather LOL )
There are a few scraps and bents but the overall rifle is in good condition. I believe that it was probably re-blued during it's life and a little finish has been wiped on the stock. Checkering is good so stock wasn't sanded.

Interestingly I had never seen a LS at any gunshow before and at this show there were 2 of them. The other was also nice looking on the outside and the only maker marks was the BSA. It was the version with no safety at all. Also the bore was badly pitted and would have to be freshed out and re-rifled to say maybe 35 cal. I was considering it and then I saw the one I bought. I was a bit blown away.
