I took it over to my smith on Friday to have the brls blued because of some minor pitting in a couple of places. Not too noticible but wanted to get it fixed on a nice gun like the Ideal. My notes are at my office but it is right at 6 lbs with 27 1/4 or 3/16 brls mod/im,no ejectors. Straight hand stock with basket weave type checkering. The gun was built early 1930s, I think 1931 but will have to check my notes. The gun is a very good fit for me with about 2 5/8 drop at heel and 14" lop.
I have another plain O grade 16 with 29" brls built about around 1911. It does not have the rising byte type action. A screw holds the forpiece on, you unscrew to take it off. Both guns have the retractable sling. My son who took the pics was shooting the older gun that day. The newer gun had stronger proof marks. I can take some pics of the older gun and perhaps stop at the smith shop and take some of the newer one when I get a chance.
