This is a friends rifle. He relined the shot out .25-20 with a new .25-20 liner, crowned it, trimmed it and chambered it to, of course, .25-20. He also replaced three or four of the action screws as some were missing. Nice trigger, although he didn't work on it. The rifle likes the Lyman 257420 with Trail Boss, 2400 and even 5744. He likes it, but he's 84 and is having trouble with cocking the hammer and working the lever. He thinks it could use a new action link as the lever at firing will recoil a bit, though this was helped when he replaced screws. He's just not as strong as he used to be! I've shot it and had no trouble with the hammer or lever, but then I'm younger.
This rifle is older than even he is and it shows lots of wear. But it shoots well with the liner and all. I'm new to Imgur (for photo hosting) so I'm struggling a bit with pics. Lets see how this goes.
There are cracks in the forearm as shown in the pics, but nothing is loose or in need of work. She's an old girl and thus is sold as is. But having said that, he wants you to be satisfied and will work with you to resolve issues. It's shooter, not a safe queen. There are no sights, just the scope bases. There is a front sight dovetail.
