It's going to remain original.

According to everything I've been able to find on the 'net indicates this rifle was made in 1958 - it's stamped 11J in the oval inspectors mark. It's a true short action according to all the measurements with a serial number of 121xx - wondering if I have one of the first short action 110's in .308. My understanding is that the short action came out in 1959 not 1958...

I'll post some pics soon.
That one is on my list. Have an early 243 and 270, and a 1965 22-250 restocked to look 1958-9. Have never seen a 308, let alone a nice one. Any chance of letting it go?
