Hi,
I recently bought a 989 M2 from Calalta, from CGN. He's a great guy to deal with and really went above and beyond. If you ever do business with him, have full confidence. The rifle is in better shape than I could have hoped for...
The rifle came today - and it's a really nice piece. Canada Post put it on the very fastest pony they had, so it only took 4 weeks to arrive. Thankfully, Calalta kept that pony moving by opening up a trouble ticket with CP.
It was manufactured in 1975. The bore looks great, muzzle crown is perfect, and it cycles very smoothly using dummy rounds. The wood has a couple of dings and scratches, but overall is in great shape. The finish is otherwise just about perfect.
The receiver has a couple of scratches as well but otherwise is in great shape. I've yet to disassemble the action but based on how well it seems to cycle, I think the internals will be as nice as the exterior.
A nice surprise is that the mags are interchangeable with my 795. I plan on seeing if the Numrich 15 round mags work well in both rifles.
The only changes I'm making to it are adding a USGI loop sling, removing the factory sights, and then installing USGI styled tech sights. I use them on my 795 and I absolutely love them.
"Removing the sights?!" you may ask. Yes, so I will be selling the rear sight assembly and the front sight as a throw-in. If anyone is interested, let me know and I will post an ad here.
Cheers,
Neil
