[QUOTE="MP43, post: 2353975, member: 1631"] Here's the one I got. Aside from the thick coating of cosmoline, at first glance, it doesn't look too bad: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/farm4.staticflickr.com_3765_11199915496_eedb8df154_c.jpg[/IMG] That's a pretty big gouge in the wood, but looks salvageable: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/farm4.staticflickr.com_3704_11199877434_71afb9ffea_b.jpg[/IMG] The extent of the crack in the buttstock is more apparent on the other side. Stock serial doesn't match the rifle, but the exterior serials on the metal appear to be the same: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/farm8.staticflickr.com_7424_11199768076_06991ca9a9_b.jpg[/IMG] Uh oh: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/farm4.staticflickr.com_3665_11199942643_6a09a39991_b.jpg[/IMG] Interestingly, this appears to be a "ghost" rifle, devoid of factory code or other markings to indicate its origins: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/farm4.staticflickr.com_3759_11199922305_5e88a5648f_b.jpg[/IMG] From what I've been reading, these were previously quite rare in the States, but a number have turned up in this import batch. There are a number of theories about them, but no one seems to know the true story behind these.

This way, I won't have any guilt changing it out. [/QUOTE]
