Yeah, they had the straight stock and a shorter barrel, thinner forend. I put a receiver sight on mine and it shot lights-out, getting lots of red squirrels around the camp and rats in the town dump (it was 1965 and there were still open-burning dumps). I miss the fun, but not the smoke.What is it that makes one a "Mountie"?
Is it the straight lever?
Agreeing with Steve above on the peep-sight.
I had a nice 3-9 scope on mine and took it off as the rifles are so dogged accurate that it actually got a little boring with optics so I went back to irons. In particular, my little D.W. King rear.
