Thanks all...great learning curve...I am not getting it for the investment but to shoot. I was just concerned a bit with whether it was too much. My reaction before the opInions was that this gun was a good price ..and the barrels were not sleeved...with great thickness and as I was told , tight....two major issues with any older gun... And besides, I can not afford a Woodward with original barrels...but it has the arcade fences and appears as a classic Woodward. CSMC has a side lock s/ s on GI for $45,000..... I will follow up in a day or two .
