Brent,
Thank you for posting the photos.

Michael,
The old fellow that had the rifle,included two factory letters!One letter from Dr.Moore,dated 1990, and the second from Dr.Labowskie with a 200 something date.
The rifle was eventually shipped to St.Louis,so I suppose that makes it mid west.Where do you draw the line?

I would like to thank everyone for your thoughts,and advice,it has all been helpful.

My heart says keep it and my head says sell,I think I will lose some sleep over it,one more night!
