Trigger Mike Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Cmp did check the heads pace and it checked ok. Bought it at the south store in Anniston, AL. bayonet was found later but it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Regret selling mine - a smoooth bolt stroke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yes, indeed. Hate selling it, but I now realize my children, except for my youngest son, don't care about older guns and may be a while before they have the maturity to take care of things. My 18 year old running out into the night at 1130 to sponge off her friends and not come back just reinforced that in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakejaw_Joe Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Do serial numbers match? How is the bore/rifling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 Only markings are there is a letter E on the bolt handle and a U on the sling swivel and VFW on the stock so.it must have been a drill rifle at the VFW at one point which explains the fouling in the barrel. There is some shine in the barrel but some pitting as well. I fired it a couple of years ago and it hit the target at 100 yards. The bayonet is often a couple of hundred dollars so that is part of why the price is where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I'd mention, America did not match numbers on their rifles back then like the Germans etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Mike, you might do better by putting this on the wildbunch wire! Lots of folks shoot bamm and Sgt York or buckey o'niel matches would jump on this rifle. Rafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
