[QUOTE="granillanutz, post: 840821, member: 70009"] there are threaded holes at the top of the mount. the weld is actually "ok"... the arc was angled more into the handle and didn't penetrate much of the barrel.. hence the pits and spatter. it's "solid enough" to be a handle and hold a scope, it's not the prettiest weld, but it's effective and doesn't appear to have hurt the barrel. i found a lot of reload info and spent brass, so i know the gun was used quite a bit and target info i found shows it must have had a scope. from the paperwork i found, i believe the scope was a burris ff 3x9. the place way in the dark back corner of the garage where i found this rifle, looked like it was a place of "unfinished projects"... or a place of retirement :-\ If it were garbage, i believe he would've thrown it away. aside from the bad weld job, What do you think of the stock? does that look original? the bolt has been ground down for scope compensation as well. the man who left behind this rifle was an extremely smart individual, mud engineer, navy ww2, airforce korea.... even in fortune magazine once. and as far as my question about "if you had all the money and time... " allow me to change that question to: what if you had no money and no time, what would you do with this rifle? [/QUOTE]
