It's in pretty good shape and shoots like a Russian dream. ie: kicks you in the shoulder and makes you keep asking "Thank you, sir. May I have another?" ;D

Pretty darned accurate, too, even out at 200 yards.

Thinking about that, I had actually thought about taking it out back and giving the top a good thick layer of shellac or something similar.

You do reloading?

No. My neighbor when I lived in Ohio did. He had a sweet setup and became an ammo supplier for law enforcement and enthusiasts. It was cool how a hobby became a trade. Me, I just ask a lot of questions.
