The poor old 54, I saw this rifle before it got burned up, and it was beautiful. When you're 15 years old and a fine hunting rifle is going to the dump, you go get it out of the truck. Yes I think it got too hot, the mauser desighn and fine Winchester steel probably saved my life.
I sometimes worry about getting ahold of another fire damaged gun someone has fixed up. Hopefuly no one else is as stupid as I was.
Check your bore, don't shoot burned guns, Stevie.
