Hi all,
I've been waiting about a month and a half for this rifle and it's finally here! It felt like years to be honest lol. It's a matching example minus the cleaning rod, I'm going to take a guess and say it was swapped around in the field during cleaning and the wrong one was put back. The rifle looks to been untouched since the great war, the bluing is nice on the small parts and under the woodline it is extremely nice. The wood has nice sharp cartouches and minimal handling marks. it comes with a original dust cover and a original sling, im thinking that the dust cover is original to the this rifle due to that fact it had quite a bit of dust and grime under it! If not its been with the rifle for some time. I was hoping to take some nice outdoor pictures to get the best lighting, but a blizzard came out of nowhere today. Maybe in a few days I'll update some of the photos as some of them are dark. Thanks again to the fellow members here who advised be to purchase this asap! Here is the data!
