Cool,
just a little additional comment. Keep this baby well oiled, but very carefully remove the wood grips before oiling. Oil will blacked the wood of the grips and cause this very old and dry wood to deteriate faster. I repeat, be very careful when removing the grips, especially on the left side. If you don't, you may cause what is called the million dollar chip on the left side in the area of the thumb safety. This is old wood and that area is delicate and breaks easily. This damage is not repairable.
