Well it's as old as Spook might be a keeper! Fell to bits ok no rust and woods all ok, got a rotary mag, barrel I can't really clean haven't the gear, rifling is good, might clean up ok
They're about the only lever action rifle I like! Never used one but read up on the design at one stage, waaay ahead of their time with the rotary mag etc.
If you clean the dirt out of that oval hole on the left side of the action you might find a little counter tell you how many rounds are in it? Think they have a wee pop-up cocking indicator on the rear part of the action too.
Blasphemy!Quote:

Couple of rounds through it will take care of the crap in the barrel.Quote:

You will be surprised just how accurate they are. I ran one for 8-10 odd years and it was a sub MOA rifle in 308 with reloads. Rear locking action which can be a tad hard on cases and I used to full length size every time. They do have a tendency for the butt stock to start cracking behind the tang and I have one on the bench now that is just holding together. Its really split.
The rotary mag is fairly bullet proof and even though the experts say not to play with it, it can be done if you have any mechnical nouse
Starting to get interested in this thread....love it when 'old stuff' is brought back to life....great read!
In that case you would be pleased to know that the new heart meds may give me a new lease on life. :PQuote:
