I bought one back around 2001 or so, mostly just to get the pre-war C type stock, but it was a "vintage", arsenal overhaul-fresh rebuild, SA receiver, s/n 111898, with a 42 dated SA barrel, new Bonney Forge bolt, all the rest of the metal had a new, even, matching "green" Parker finish and appeared to be unfired since rebuild.
I've always hesitated to mention that I've shot that particular rifle so as not to give anyone the impression that the low s/n rifles, as a class, are all safe to use. This one appears to be, and with nothing other than USGI Lake City 52 ball, it shoots really well.
