<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 150043, member: 54"]Are extremely rare but not something we must have. Seller said he might do restoration himself if it didn't sell soon. I'm ok with that because we should be able to see the bare iron during his restoration, if it ever happens. If he'd let me de-scale the muzzle area it'd probably answer my questions. In the close-up pic of the muzzle you can see enuf to guess at thickness of the dark scale layer, looks like maybe 1/8 inch or so. If its removal left a smooth even surface that'd be nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
