It looks really really good. I can't quite tell about the bore because although I can see rifling, I can't tell how good it is because there is a bunch of cosmoline in it. Not much rust. Its just missing a bunch of receiver

interesting. i have one of the matching kits and the bore is full of gunk too. my receiver is also missing part of the lightening cut so it's not as pretty. otherwise it LOOKS to be in great shape based on a quick review

now just gotta find some side panels

Does the bolt match the receiver?


Kinda hard to tell, but it looks like the bolt has some lightening cuts on it, which should not be found on a milled receiver... but again, it's kinda hard to tell.


Also, does the folding stock lock up tightly? Or is it loose at all? On both of my 64 kits, the stock was unaceptably loose. I had to fill in some of the holes with weld and reshape them to get the stock anywhere close to tight.

mine locks up real tight
furniture is in great shape. should clean up well
it has a strange brake on the front and is flush with the barrel. not like the slant brake i'm used to

anyone got a charger for a canon s45? lost mine, so no pics :mad3:

that's called a muzzle nut. It does nothing but protect the threads on the muzzle.

First order of business is to get some plates
