Finely streaked and lightly figured dense European walnut horn capped pistol grip full length stock measures 14-1/4″ over case hardened steel buttplate.

Bbl retains nearly all of its orig rust blue with only a hint of sharp edge wear. Action retains approx 95% of its orig bright blue, with some minor marks and light scratches on floorplate and trigger guard bow. Case hardening is rubbing through on bolt body, from normal operation. Temper blue on bolt stop is brilliant with a few scratches. Stock retains nearly all of its orig rubbed oil finish with some minor marks and dings. Bore is excellent, bright, sharp, and shiny throughout. Action is smooth. Scope and mount are excellent, with bright optics. Sling is very fine. A classy rifle that cost well over $175.00 in 1937. 4-53689 MGM303 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 2287
