Just did a bit of research on a 257 Roberts I picked up on trade this week. It’s built on a “B” prefix receiver indicating early 80s build. The gun is super nice to shoot and sits in a HSP stock, it has a Douglas barrel that I had threaded today for my suppressor. Old style Remington trigger tuned up and everything.
I was just curious what made the old ones so nice. The bolt face and lugs look really nice, but the steel on the outside of the receiver intrigued me. It’s more rough, not perfectly machined, but I love the character of the old machining.
Just wanted a bit more insight on it in case I decided to put it up for sale soon.
