On the attic? You mean the roof...

Flood Recovery. Probably still a good shooter if nothing else. Too bad.

Yeah, I was thinking Katrina actually. Seeing a lot of these on Gunbroker, most are Katrina damaged.

A lot of floods even more recently, we had some spectacular ones in NY earlier his year. This looks like three weeks, maybe a month underwater. The sellac protected the stock pretty well.

You could be right and there have been a lot of floods. I was just thinking the pitting looked like saltwater damage, but I truly wouldn't know one from the other. Sad, the condition of the rifle either way. It's a blond laminate with a black bayonet. I actually did one just like that last year, by swapping a black bayo for a silver on one of my blonde lammies. Before I sold her, I swapped the bayo's back, so she had her original stuff.

This one (1950) is most likely a non-chromed bore. A flood/water damage/damp attic disclosure would worry me a bit.

Thanks for sharing the information but.....
