Gil,
Obviously that rifle came into a very good home. I have often looked at my venerable military arms and wondered where they have been and what they endured. Old military arms have a history locked inside that we can only imagine. One day, it will all be clear to us, but no hearse has a luggage rack, so we will just "be in the know" for our personal satisfaction. I reckon that will satisfy most gun collectors to know what they once possessed. We will never own any gun anymore that the prior owners did, once upon a time.
Cherish your arms while you can.
Adam
