I first saw 157766 in late September last year at a local gun shop, it was not a bad gun on first look besides the ugly forearm, the added comb, the blue receiver and the recoil pad! The forearm is a little LC Smith like in an ugly way!
I go to the shop once a month and every couple months they would drop the price a bit. Today it was finally in striking distance, they phoned the owner with my reasonable offer and the deal was done. After a few hours and some vinegar I have the receiver looking respectable and it will be very nice with a perfect set of screws. The comb work is high quality work for sure and I will leave it be since the stock is original with the serial number stamped under the trigger guard. I actually ordered the letter when I first looked at it a year ago, nothing exciting there, just where it was shipped and cost.
Wanted D quality, checkered, ejector, splinter forearm!!

Brian, I would like to take the liberty to direct everyone's attention to the floor plate and the engraver's depiction. Of true "flying turnips," I like them a lot!
That's a really nice gun Brian!

Nice gun and like the "flying turnips". I always liked this fat bird on the trigger guard of my C grade Fox. I think it may look a bit like a turnip if it was flying! Enjoy your gun.
Hello everyone, a little update on this old dog. A complete redo thanks to Chris Dawe and LEMIEUX ARMURIERS. It is very tasteful and shoots lights out!
Hope you are all well.
