The day finally came. I got this new toy on Friday but didn't have time to post till now. I am extremely proud of her. She's the most collectible rifle in my safe. I love old military guns. For those of you who don't know....this is a gun the US troops used in WWI. This particular rifle bares the marks of the flaming bomb insignia from our rifle factories of the time period, wich is pretty cool. There is one on the side of the receiver and actually 2 on the bolt arm. The wood on this rifle is beautiful and the pics of course do no justice to it. The action is smooth as can be and the bore is in great shape. This will be my new antlerless season deer rifle as it can handle any of the modern .30-06 factory ammo, and will be cool to get a deer with an old gun. I imagine this gun has seen its share of killin so I have to get her back to her old ways! The last pic is of the long distance rear sight aperature. And now the pics!
