If my wife lets me, it's going over our wood stove Also, does anyone know what the 38 above the butt plate means? Anyways, here's my newest piece of American history. Does anyone know much about these? I would like to at least clean the rust off and I'm assuming I can't hurt the value at this point considering it probably doesn't have much. Mechanically, it seems sound and the barrel still has good rifling. As you can tell in the pictures, it's got quite a bit of surface rust, is missing the front sight, has paint specks on the stock, and has a crack in the forearm. He told me he shot it about 40 years ago and that was all he's done to it. It's beat, but I am excited to own a real piece of American history. He's wheelchair bound and I fixed his elevator a week ago after the lift company said it was toast and he surprised me with it today. My neighbor just gave me this this old Springfield.
