It needs love but is in much better shape than I expected. Not bad for $495.00!
It needs a barrel lining so I just ordered a liner from TJ and the appropriate pilot drill bit from PTG. It is currently a 32 Short but it will be a 32-20.
The wood is excellent and metal has been reblued. It has a fair amount of pitting under the new blue job, but not too bad.
Serial number is 13554 so I need to research the DOM
The bore is horrible. Worse I've ever seen. Seems they took reasonable care of the outside but never cleaned the bore.
It needs a bit of my TIG welder and then redrilled and tapped to retain the firing pin.

And I don't believe this is correct...

I'm sure there was a more elegant way of securing the lever pin?
The wood is pretty nice

As is the barrel and most of the receiver...

Since I don't have much $$ into this rifle it might be a good candidate to try case hardening....Ya just can't have enough projects sitting on the bench!
