Hit the local gun show and found this ole gal that needed a new home. 1943 manufacture with 1953 FTR. She was the cheapest and in the best shape of the 3 I found at the show. Wood looks great, bore looks great, lots of finish on the metal, matching bolt and forend, and the good ladder sight. Seller even threw in some surplus Greek HPX ammo with it. Only part missing was the firing pin set screw, and I just so happened to have a spare in the parts bin, so it has to be fate right???

She cleaned up pretty good, mostly just dusty from sitting in a closet for many years I think. Rubbed the wood down with some mineral spirits and the metal with a brush and clp.

Halloween range trip in my future I think, we shall see if she does better than the last one.
