- In lalaland, that is Ottawa.
Well, I did it, Thursday, bought another laminated refurb from LeB. I would have preferred a 1952 but there was vno choice in the lams. Price, with tax $251.99.
Just morning, I've taken it down and am impressed. It shows no internal wear what so ever, no signs of having been fired. Frankenpinned of course
but...
The stock seems much better inletted then my 1951. I checked the side walls in the 1953, where the two forward recoil points contact the wood. Much better than the 1951. I will not consider bedding it until Ive done some firing.
It was very clean. some oil and that's all. Clean up was a snap.
This rifle I will leave unaltered so that I can use it milsurp shoots.
As for the barrel, I ran my snake down it and the chrome bore looks very good.
So, all in all, I am very pleased with it.
The $189 rifles they have are all non laminated. It is possible that I could have had a 1952 from that batch. Maybe even in better overall shape than my 1953. I'll never know.
