I wonder if it was someone here that I was bidding against?

I know I paid too much for the good parts, although there are a lot of nice parts to salvage. I'm crossing my fingers that the barrel may be salvagable. If it is I made out, if it isn't I paid too much.

I'll let you all know next spring when I have time to poke around at it.

In the late 50's Helen Moore was shooting a Buhmiller (SP?) barreled Model 70 when the barrel failed due to a seam in the barrel blank. Both the front and rear receiver rings failed and the bolt was blown back over Helen's head. Fortunately she was not injured. The bolt was not visibly damaged but the receiver was totaled.
