interesting thing, is my buddy that had it originally, is a retired tool & die guy... & he started & got quite a bit done on, 3 reproduction receivers, using this gun as a pattern... my buddy that bought it from him, is also a machinist, & he got the 3 receivers, & would like to finish them, when he gets closer to retiring...
there is a possibility down the road, that I might be able to get a reproduction in a more modern cartridge, that was built by a combination of two of my friends, based off of this rifle
