Just bought 8494 SA 8-26 from a friend’s estate. It was an attic find- he had paid very little for it maybe nothing as a widow wanted “ the guns out of the house…” The bolt has been turned down and it has a Beuhler type low safety as it is D&T’d with a Redfield base and a gigantic Bushnell 6-18 scope. The recessed area of the stock 488044DF-FA37-46A4-8027-1CA6AEE5B8E0.jpgEC6C8106-5DE3-4890-BA12-77358F9A6BA5.jpg5A666967-430E-4F33-A8F5-66D3C23EAA85.jpgAE58B0AA-02F7-41AA-8F3B-E84E52B228C1.jpg9E863DBE-ACF0-4A75-BC1D-D10B34CCA1DC.jpg488044DF-FA37-46A4-8027-1CA6AEE5B8E0.jpgEC6C8106-5DE3-4890-BA12-77358F9A6BA5.jpg5A666967-430E-4F33-A8F5-66D3C23EAA85.jpgAE58B0AA-02F7-41AA-8F3B-E84E52B228C1.jpg9E863DBE-ACF0-4A75-BC1D-D10B34CCA1DC.jpgfor the rear sight on the stock has been filled with acraglass and looks sorta ok. The stock has has about 3/8” cut off and a recoil pad (on a .22 LR?!?) is crudely installed- not to the standard of the other gunsmithing which though highly regrettable is pretty good. Anyway I gave $1100 for it. I’ll shoot it if it’s fun I’ll keep it; I think it would be a very expensive restoration.
