This old 23A Sporter (late 1920's) was acquired many years ago as a gift for my father-in-law. It was a little rough then with no magazine so I took it completely apart for refurbish. I stripped the old blue and had every thing re-blued. I refinished the stock myself with hand rubbed tung oil. The magazine was very hard to find around here, but I located 3 at OGCA one year. It's the same mag used on the NRA Match Rifle (so marked on the mag). Well, my father-in-law passed away several years ago and my mother-in-law gave it back to me. Here it stays as as memento for my wife The bore is fantastic and it shoots great.
