Rich just wanted to let you know that the previously discussed 220 swift fell through, but I did track down a nice shooter grade pre war that is coming my way.

Finish will probably need some work, but stock and checkering are good, may try to replace the vent pad with a steel butt plate I have if it will work. The barrel is parkerized but it looks nice. Wouldn't have gotten the deal on it if the barrel had been original blue!
