<r>Hello: thanks! Yes I take my dad who is 97 carping when the weather is nice. Its catch and release or catch and fertilize!

Thank you for your detective work! The layers of history are being peeled back.

Hello: thanks again for all the info. Its interesting about the one rifle being an antique and another modern because of its serial number. I have been trying to acquire this piece for quite some time and do not intend to sell it any time soon. It's funny this is the oldest U.S. <br /> Military weap...

<r>Here is a pic. Of the serial no. It would be great if there is any info out there on this particular rifle. The bore checked out at .307 and .300. My old 180 gr.

Hello: Thanks for the info on the sling. I do plan on shooting my new find. I will purchase a repo sling. The original has some small cracks on it. What should I put on it during storage? Also the full serial no. Is 143581. Do you know where I could check it out?
Thanks everyone, KC
