I think it's late 1950's*. "Walnut" finished hardwood stock, sliding safety on the lever, factory tapped, case hardened lever. All original sights, great screw slots, and near new looking bore and blue. There is a bad spot on the plastic butt plate and the head of the lower butt plate screw, as if it was dropped, and the dark finish on the forearm is scratched...not deep scratches, but the finish is scratched. The screw head on the front sling swivel is bad.

I saw it in a bargain rack at a gun shop...Checked the caliber and price, and had to buy it.
I know the owner and salesman, and they knocked $10 off the price...I paid $265 for it, which I think is pretty good.

SN is 112278xx. *There is an oval on the lever boss with 30T inside it...making it 1966.

Could not let this one get away.
