It is the only one I have ever seen with a steel receiver. I have one from the early 60s that has a walnut stock but the receiver is aluminum already by then so his must be 50s I am guessing.His family has used it for decades and he says he has never has cleaned it. All he ever does is pull the action back and give it a good blast of WD/40 then points the barrel down in a bucket and inserts the straw in the barrel spraying until  WD/40 runs into the bucket and puts the gun away. He says the gun has never jammed.I have witnessed him shooting it and it works like the day it was made but I still just can't make myself treat one of my own that way.</blockquote>
