1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.

Since you have it safely in hand, these will have to do until you can get your photos up.  thumb1

Here are some shots....It did not come with this sling....the sling is the one I was asking about on here last week. It is soaked in some sort of fuel/oil mix. Actually smells like gasoline. I'll add more pics as I get it apart. I am definitely removing the gas/oil coating. Whoever brought this home wrapped it in canvas of some sort...left stippling embedded in the finish.

Original matching. That's beyond cool  8)

I can see the fabric pattern in the buttstock. I'd guess some type of synthetic fabric.  Maybe he wrapped it in a couple of empty sandbags.

I like the triangle markings on the bolt. They sure look Chinese to me.
