All, (and 400NitroExpress)

Well got a look at it last night.
It does not have any Nitro proofs except the "70 grs Cordite - 480 grs Max" on the flats
Crown V on the flats and water table, Crown CP on the flats and 450EX.
Barrel has " 450 Express 3 1/4", 70 grs cordite - 480 max " inscribed on it.
Condition is relative to price, so I will have to wait and see what I can get it for.
I think it will make a fine shooter.

The biggest issue with it, is that the striker bushings got screwed up at some point.
The repair was to take out thr disk bushings and mill a dovetail from the top of the action.
Now the strikers are held in place, by plates that slide down the dovetail, from the top, and have a screw that is counterbored above the striker holding the plates in place.
I have seen this system of bushing before, but this was clearly a repair.
Any thoughts on this repair ?

Left barrel has a slight ring in the rifeling, 1/4" after chamber, seems unusual that the left would be shot more than the right, and have errosion, any thoughts ?

Any recommendations for a smith to redo the bushings, JJ or someone else ?

Thanks
Sorry did not get any pictures, last night.
If the price is right will follow up with lots of pictures.
