Rockdoc the gun was purchased before 1976 by someone who put it away for a long time as it is absolutely in like new condition. All I lacks is the box. I doubt it has been messed with at all. The typical scratches seen on the bottom of barrels from disassembly/reassembly are not there, not even one. I feel very fortunate to have found one in this condition. I will shoot it this week on a greased pattern board and know more about it then. I am going to have a recoil pad installed which will require little shortening of the wood to fit the grand daughter. After that she will begin the scholastic shooting program at the gun club this fall.
