1953.9 matching T-53
1953.9 matching T-53
Hows about an all matching T-53 for your viewing pleasure? Possibly showcase worthy?
Made in 1953.9, and has a cryllic letter preceding the serial...
Pics are before any cleanup. Bottom one is the all matching one(top one[1954.1] is not in bad shape either but will have it's own thread)
Receiver and bolt
Magazine, sorry it's upside down
Nice star on the stock above the buttplate, also has one on the side
More pics to come!

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: 1953.9 matching T-53
I have two 1955's with great bolts/bores and actions but hammered gouged stocks. Looking for a 1953.9....'cause it's my birth month and year. Good enough reason.
