That is a beauty and just think you probably rescued it from being drilled and tapped very soon.

Have you shot it yet? You will be pleasantly surprised, I think. My M96 with handloads surprised me.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Other than right after I got, I haven't had the chance to give it a good test. Also kinda thinking that in the condition its in, I probably won't be shooting it much. Got a couple of other Swedes in rough shape that shoot damn good. If those would get an extra ding or two it wouldn't be noticeable.
