That new cover over the old grease hole needs to go in the trash can.

Definitely.  Maybe the rest of it is not so purdy.  :)

It looks like Santa Claus protecting his warehouse from the Black Friday shopping hoards.

Love that rifle, a true working man's rifle.

I like it too.  I have a very plain rifle that is similar, with no buttplate, same shape.  I also like the little "circled stars" stampings.  I have that on several of my southern guns.
