Everything is original except the magazine. Previous owner added some stipling (sp?) in the front of the grip.
I will break it down tonight to confirm the barrel marks.

This bad boy is ready! Finally got it back yesterday from the gunsmith who mounted a Weigand rail on top. Topped it with a Burris Fast Fire red dot. Took it out this morning and shot 5 different loads through it. Finally settled on a 240 grain xtp (for now) being pushed by 21 grains of 2400. An inch high at 50 was an inch low at 100. The group with this load was 1.25" at 50. Finished it with a homemade holster.

[QUOTE=cattlelackranch;12822755]Pretty cool.
Isn't 21 grains of 2400 Elmer Keith's load? Sounds like it's shooting good for you. You didn't happen to chronograph it did you?[/QUOTE
Yes I think it was his powder charge of choice. And no I don't have a chronograph but just going off the manuals, I'm guessing it's in the 1300 fps range.

Not like he has a healthcare business to run, but he wants to start a cerekote biz?? Anyway, he 'needed' a before and after gun and I told him "you know not of what thee ask...I only have one before and after gun to offer & it cannnot be parted with."
His reply was 'give me the gun and you can jack it back up when i'm done'...I need less friends. All I asked was make it all black, or the top one color and the bottom another collor. KEEP IT NEUTRAL!!!!!!
Oh well, these sights were outdated and night sights will be on order...I will deal with the bbl with rounds down range.
