spotted this early fixed bale, front-seam M1 on gumtree on Monday and spent the past two days trying to purchase it from the seller who wasn’t happy about posting it. I was even considering the 170 mile drive when he messaged me late last night to say he’d sold it. Gutted. You win some, you lose some I guess.

Anyway, what do people think? I know it’s salty but is that a Hawley liner and a feint ‘follow me’ stripe on the rear? These are the only pictures he had. Hope someone on here got it.

Cheers, Ian
