    By nature I'm not a risk taker and what I've read in posts above they're old, parts hard to get and photos now posted appear to show its the bulb muzzle version so very old and looks like it's had a hard life. Disposable cash in really short supply so seems not worth the risk. For me anyway. Likely good for someone else.

    It looks ok to me especially for $120. A couple hours work and it would probably be a nice wee gun.
    A bit of sandpaper, elbow grease, and some oil or varnish for the stock. A scotchbrite pad with some oil on it for the metalwork.

    I refinished mine, and it also used to have the bulb on the muzzle but I had it threaded.

    ive had mine for 40 odd yrs .in fact its on loan to GSPF at present. cause thew old girl was so forgiving and the stock so shitty I restocked her in a n old stirling s/a stock a cuzzie gave me.in the early 80s i also got the late paulus manders here in chch to fit one of his supressors-he tapped the bulb fitted a custom insert and screwed on one of his own suppressors.

    that rifle has been through hell with me and is still honest as sunday is long.
    GSPF has even outshot me when ive been having a play with my .223!!
    rabbits possums -ive lost count of the number who snuffed it at the hands of that wee russian nana!

    also running shorty version of jw15 and a very very cute ruger 10/22 owned by a cobber in aussie!
