Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your help. My next step will be to field strip the rifle and check the recoil spring. On that note, can someone recommend a good source for a replacement spring?

I have an ammo can of ‘66 LC in 20 round boxes. This may be a good time to put it to use.

I’d love to run some rounds through it and I’m wondering if that’s a good idea. The wood has no splits or cracks. What’s the risk if I run some rounds through it? I’d be devastated if I caused a crack. Its seems there’s a lot of rifles with damaged stocks out there.

Hello. I was in the right place at the right time when I came into this JSAR. I had the fortunate opportunity to run into an older gentleman who was selling off some his firearms and this was one of them. I’ve always wanted one but the examples I’ve seen were too beat-up, sporterized or too expensive to consider. I purchased Canfield’s book which is a great resource and realized there is a lot more for me to learn about these unique rifles. Hopefully the pics show up. Thanks for looking.
