I appreciate all the comments and input on this thread. I have a couple of final questions as I have not yet completely pushed the button on this deal.
1. right side of receiver - shouldn't the lock screw be aligned with the hinge pin screw head? All others are.
2. the action bottom screw head seems to be slightly burred...1 & 2 seems to indicate someone has been inside the gun; hidden warts on this one perhaps?
3. shouldn't a gun of this era have been case hardened instead of blued?
I certainly appreciate any feedback and opinions on these questions.
