Looks nice. I just got this ‘52 in pretty similar shape for $600. Not a bad deal with a shiny bore. I’m sure you could get more for it though, just what I paid.

Other than the drilled mag of course, that I’ve never had the displeasure of dealing with.

In Canada, magazines are limited to 5 rounds and thus there are different methods of restricting them. You can see how it would have looked before rivet was removed. Picture 13 & 14

Yeah it looks similar to those pics - that must be what happened to it.  Pinned and roughly drilled out at some point.

Too bad it can't talk and tell me it's life story.... chuckles1 chuckles1
