Mine arrived - damaged?
I picked up the parcel and it gave out a horrible clank of parts bashing around! WTF? I told the wife to avert her eyes as I slit open the parcel with a utility knife in the middle of the kitchen table... stuff fell out!
The gun was intact, but there were 2,10-rd clips, a cleaning kit and a strange, two-part oil bottle all collected in the cardboard along with a sling, oil bottle holder and an ammo pouch. No worries!
The wood looks very good for a refurb and most numbers match. The finish on the metal is great, and there are a very few scratches on it.
I haven't had a chance to thoroughly clean it yet, but I did strip it down once I found that the action would not hold open on the empty mag.
It turns out that the weld job on the magazine pinning rod had so much extra weld on it ( dog balls ) that the mag follower could not return to the full empty position and hold the action open. Ten minutes with a dremel fixed it.
Once I can give it a really good detail cleaning, we'll head out to the range. Please pass the varsol.
