Back in 2005 I picked this up from a friend, with a bulge in the barrel looked like the troop tried to shoot a patch out of the barrel. Starmmetal pointed me to a replacement barrel, which worked well. After I fired it on target, I put it in the safe, but yesterday got it out to see how it fares (if needed). I opened a sealed can of Korean 1955 150 grain hardball. Not so good, strung vertically 7.5 inches @ 100 yards. Tried a load put together for another rifle, 175 grain Sierra Matchking, 44 grains Scot 4065. Better, 3 shots in 4.3 inches @ 100 yards. Then, TINS, 3 shots in 1.5 inches @ 300 yards. 4 inches right and 4 inches above POA. This is the best iron sight group I have ever shot.
I will be 81 next month, used mild reading glasses to see the sights, and the target was a 100 yard bull which looked like a flyspeck at 300 yards.
