No5 at Last

Post by Paul1807 » Sat Sep 12, 2009 12:36 pm

One perk I get from being a part time volunteer range Safety Officer is that I sometimes am asked if I would be interested in a gun.
Last weekend it was a No5 Mk1 Faz, for $300 US. Except for a light coat of varnish on the stock (now removed) and a missing front sling swivel (on order) it is in fine shape. :TX: :SCO: :USA:

Thanks! It is a very good shooter. It benches under 2" at 100 yards and when I shot it for score prone I got 95/100 on a SR-1 target.
