He soon got rid of it,

Agree with this completely ... Buddy of mine in Saskatchewan had one for a while .... he got it from a Montreal outfit called "Interarm", years ago. They specialized in selling refurbished army surplus rifles with sporting stocks for use as hunting rifles ... what a piece of garbage that gun was ... I doubt Oswald could have hit JFK's car even if he had been sitting in it. You couldn't get the damn thing sighted in. I think he tossed it.
I got a Lee Enfield
from the same outfit .... only thing changed apart from the stock were the sights ... great hunting rifle: accurate and reliable. Still have it.
