as luck would have it ,found another 44 1/2 thats a bit of a project with a new barrel(still in white un blued) and lever (CPA) .The pervious owner was using it as pictured with good results .Bought it as a project for myself
She landed and gave her a once over and a few things needed attention ,made new firing as tip was broken and fee floating ,made up new link pins as the ones in it are worn .Did a draw file and polish and sent receiver and small bits off for CC and barrel is going for blueing .Wood is pretty good so I am going to do a clean up and oil it
