THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I know they are reconditioned drill rifles (Gibbs Rifle Co.) and that is fine as long as it is safe. The rifle I received looks outstanding! The only imperfections I found were on the left side of the receiver by the ON/OFF lever, where the weld had been removed. As you can see in the pictures it has a new (RR 2012) 4-grove barrel and a new stock. Fit and finish are outstanding and I'm looking forward to some range time this weekend to see how it shoots. So far, I'm very pleased.

Nice looking rifle. It probably shoots as well as it looks.

Looks great. Now all that is needed is ammo and a set of solid zeros and off to the Matches.

I just bought one for the same purpose. Another excuse to shoot more highpower. I figured these would be the best choice instead of spending the cash to upgrade a WWII issue. In my experience Joe dosent take uber care of his weapons lot of cleaning rod damage. Not there faut they were in combat. cant tell you how many m-16"s and 240's I beat up till I knew better. Should be in by wednesday and I already have some rounds loaded to see what works.

Good looking rifle. I have been thinking about getting one as well.
Dave, you going to be up at Perry this year? I signed up for the Pistol SAFS, but may get up there for some rifle events as well since I just a couple hours away now. |
