Hello to you all!
I'm new here and I like to know your opinion on this bcd I just bought. It is all matching and everything is correctly proofed... but the stock: it is a BLM stock, which bears the s/n of the gun. To my eyes the stock looks unsanded, and it seems the numbers have been applied long time ago. Size is approx. .320
Another issue is a rework on chamber area, and a subsequent modification on the bolt. If you look carefully at the pic, there is a second faint firing proof eagle (maybe the gun was tested twice?). The external reworked area is slightly pitted, so, again, it looks an old job. Have you ever seen a repair like this one?
Obviously, now I wish you tell me that the stock is a wartime replacement and the repair was made in 1944 at the factory, as a consequence of a sabotage act... But I know, I have to wait 12 months for the nest X-mas present
Regards,
Marzio
