OfflineHi All,
First post on the forum after doing some reading and hoping that the experts here can provide some insight into a recent purchase. It appears that the rear sight was replaced but the rifle looks to be in great mechanical condition and perhaps original finish. Would like to understand any other insights which the pictures may tell and potentially an estimate of value. Thanks in advance!

OfflineThe gun has been refinished and as TR stated its probably a cold blue that comes off when you wipe the gun. They even left the original screws in the receiver and flattened the heads when they buffed or sanded it.
