I will post a picture of the bottom, the one I took looked terrible, I will also post a pic of trigger guard and serial number. The white line pad is actually a newish ruger pad that does not fit at all. It weighs a hefty 7lbs 14oz and feels muzzle heavy I will check balance point. Tom thanks for the info especially the forend fix it is nicely done. Is the lever on the forend to activate the ejectors? They do not work in any position I also think the top lever spring is a weak replacement it does not have much tension.
Tom what fair value would you put on this gun given its problems (not looking for the one person that would over pay).
