nice, I have one. Not picking on anyone but would never spend any time or money restoring it. Its a great shooting rifle, but not worth anything unless had a personal connection to it. Just not for me I guess. But they are fun guns to shoot. The bad part is the 7.7 round is spendy.

Yeah, I like them "as issued". I enjoy doing restoration work like that, finding the parts, cleaning it up, etc.

7.7 is one of those rounds that is much cheaper to reload than buy commercially manufactured.

.. Nice project, and a nice job as well, I'm sure you enjoyed restoring it and that's what really counts.

Oh I get it. I respect the time and effort of doing a job like that. It takes passion!!

I shoot mine once a year, don't load for it cost for set up vs. taking 10 shots with it a year just not worth it. Although I might shoot it more if I loaded for it.
