Just got it on Sunday.
Filed a front sight for it today (original was missing) so I will take it out in the next couple weeks and see if that bead works as I want it to then I will file another more appropriate sight that I have in reserve - didn’t want to screw that one up as this is the first sight I’ve done myself.
I bought this rifle knowing that it had potential issues but hoping that the action was just really gunked up.
Steve Bertram received the rifle for me and did a strip down and clean and it was really really gunked up but under all of that was a very nice original rifle! Great bore too so no doubt it will shoot.
