550-1
Re: 550-1
Got her this morning. By the barrel markings C XX she was born in April of 1951. Good looking gun with bluing approx 90% and the Walnut Stock is in great shape with only a couple of dings. Probably the dirtiest action of any gun I ever owned and I spent about 2 hours just cleaning the bolt and receiver. I plan a more thorough cleaning later this week, but I had to get her put back together so I could see it she would fire. SUCCESS!!
Re: 550-1
I finally got the receiver cleaned out enough to see the metal and not years of crud. Tried 22 shorts and she feeds, fires, and cycles like on the day she was born. I did a little test shooting out the back of my shop @ 20 yds, iron sights and bifocals. Here's my 5 shot group.
I think she's a keeper.
