I have one of those. I have it as an antique now and don't shoot it. I used to shoot it though, I did the mad minute with it once and got 12 shots off in the minute. I might have to re-instate it to shoot it again as I still have the cases. Mine came with the original sling. Lots of markings on the butt showing where it has been. I think the sling markings picture is the wrong way up.
Regards
Peter.

Nice looking rifle Peter. That stamp on the sling is probably very rude if it's the wrong way up :shock: You can send me the cases if you don't want to shoot it again :roll: :roll: :roll:

No reply from the seller, I get the feeling he isn't going to accept but there is still a day to go on the auction so maybe he is hoping for someone to put in a bid rather than a firm offer like mine.
