I grew up in Inglewood. In Jr. High I took a woodshop class and needed a project. I asked my teacher if I could refinish the stock on my .22 rifle, and he agreed. The next day I took it to school with me on the school bus, carried it to class and it was no big deal. Brought it home on the bus a few weeks later looking like brand new. Can you imagine the panic if a kid tried that today!

The Mini 30 looks great, by the way!
