I'm thinking the same, after reading some older posts and threads in this forum. I don't have the kind of gear needed to do a pick. I might manage an overall-length type of shot, but that wouldn't hel ... |

It has a crack in the stock on the left side between the upper tang and along the mag well. Quite repairable into a very functional shooter. It was 150 bucks and still has the original blueing fairly ... |
