[QUOTE="neokshooter, post: 2951290, member: 34817"] Thank you Dennis. I have received the rifle and other than a few very minor flaws in the wood finish this rifle is 99 %+. I did strip the wood and refinish with tongue oil and using 0000 steel wool between coats. It gave it a beautiful hand rubbed finish. Other than that all I did was a basic cleaning and there wasn't much of that to do. But as I said the rifle is 40 years old. The receiver is tapped for a scope but I don't have plans for doing that. I do intend to install sling swivel's and a Brown leather military sling. So far the only thing I don't like about the rifle is that there is no hold open for the bolt. The stainless 10 shot magazines I bought do not lock in like the original. In order to do so I have to have the bolt all the way to the rear when I insert the magazine. Once I release the charging handle the mag is secure. Now I'm just looking forward to a test firing at the range. [/QUOTE]
