This was a restoration project of mine. I refinished the stock and re blued the whole gun (cold blue). It looks good as long as you don't look to hard. Magazine is new and was nearly $50 by itself. It is very difficult to remove for some reason. I have only shot the thing a couple times and I just used it as a single shot. The gun is tight in the stock now, but at some point you may have to do some work on the inside of the stock where the receiver mounts to the stock. Been so long since I've had it apart I don't remember exactly what the issue was, but remember thinking to myself there would be an issue if it was shot a bunch. Need to free up some room in the safe.
