I think it's awful pretty for an ugly rifle! I found this in a pile of estate guns Sunday morning (literally) and almost had a coronary when I saw it. It had been priced by some "experts" who also mis-identified a Krag rifle as a 1903 Springfield. I didn't even haggle!
The wood is already at "Mr. Wizzards" for a couple minor repairs. It came with 7 boxes of ammo and I haven't stopped smiling since.
