Sorry to borrow your thread but I had to share my latest addition - well it is a bolt action
1948 all numbers matching Izzy M44 - perfect chamber, crown, and rifling. Headspace verified. The rifle plus 1K rounds of surplus 147 and heavy ball ammo for $400 done private party C&R. Not expecting accuracy that even approaches a Rem 700 but I'll bet the fireballs and noise will be fun. If I can hit a minute-of-pie plate at ~200 yards from a bench I will be super happy.
