OP Michael Petrov Sidelock Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 6,881 Alaska	The rifle arrived here in Anchorage today and I will keep it. Lots of problems for sure, the lever is bent in the middle, the top tang is bent and the through bolt is also bent.. Looks like it took a heck of a fall. On the plus side one of the glued pieces of the stock fell out when the butt was removed and I'll try to un-glue or bust apart the other side. Also on the the plus side the bore is mint and the Cleveland-Fecker scope was never made with end caps so I don't have to make them. A very unique action which I will report on at a later date. No pictures until some of the problems are corrected. It's an interesting rifle but not presentable just yet. MP Sadly Deceased as of 2/17/2014

OP Michael Petrov Sidelock Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 6,881 Alaska	A couple more observations, the scope mounting blocks are not for the more modern Fecker mounts that are on the scope but the early Winchester (grasshopper) ones they used, they will have to be replaced. This rifle may not be the one pictured, there has never been a front sling swivel and there is only a hole on top of the barrel for a barrel band sight? I guess it could have just been a little artistic license. However it does have the same Rodgers stock and the UGLY forearm. The rear sight holes are for a Lyman 48 one with a parallel side and round top, Savage 99? MP Sadly Deceased as of 2/17/2014

OP Michael Petrov Sidelock Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 6,881 Alaska	I do plan to write an article on restoration, someday. When I write about this rifle I will want to present the history on a little-known American single-shot with possible the early years of Fecker. Trust me, by the time you guys read about it here and all the work & pictures you will not want to read that part again. In other words the restoration w/pictures will be published here.
