Got another one for the stable.
1903 CG. Most numbers match (mag plate and barrel band don't). Light patina on exposed parts. Original barrel (6-digit match). Wood matches even though it has interesting toe repair a-la Type 99s.
Loose (like falling off loose) front sight fixed with 4.5mm replacement.
Firing pin was turned out full turn making it inop - another easy fix (one has to wonder if it even ever been shot).
Let Wipe-Out do its thing for an hour. Did some brushing with No9. see if anything else breaks loose.
First five of 43.0 of IMR4350 behind 120 SMK, Lapua virgin brass, WLR:
Swedes keep delivering - haven't seen one that shot bad ... Dustin!
