OK, I finally gave in and sent AIM $80 + shipping for one of these 1943 war relics. It is in excellent condition considering it's 66 years old. I hope I look as good at that age. I spent an hour last night cleaning the black bore and the excess lubricant so I could shoot it today.
Well, it's definitely not a shooter. More than half of the rounds keyholed with these light, 147 grain, loads. I'm thinking the bore may be shot out.
Anyone have any experiences to share or recommendations?
