It took a couple loads, but I’m pretty sure I’m done messing with it. 150 grain interlocks over 47.5 grains of 4064 yielded a .51” group.

Trigger maybe, but I wouldn't mess with it beyond that. Don't fix what ain't broke.

Curiosity, where/how did you get it for $150? It was at a Cash America pawn shop. It isn’t pretty.

I think you picked a winner! I’d sell it on THF for $600 and buy a nice Pointer pup.

If it is pitted from end to end it's still a bargain to shoot like that for $150. You could always have it sand blasted or something, then clean it well and paint it.
