Local has a beat up old sporter with a good bore that He is motivated in selling, (Price is right). I can see the big hole in the side of the action, any other gremlins or, good points.

It doesn't effect the bolt action firing any, but it's there. Someone rebuilding a MkI may be happy to pay for the sear parts for a military restoration though.

This old Springfield has spent a lot of time on a saddle, and in the rocks. The Lyman Alaskan and the bore look to be good. I will bet it shoots good. Thanks again David
