Running Boar Rim Fires

Things have been a bit quiet here lately so I thought I'd post pics of a couple of rare 22's.

I've owned a Walther Moving Target & an Anschutz 1808EDS Running Boar for years.

A friend in the US saw images of the Walther and spent a long time searching until he found a nice one. Then last week, I had a message from him. He had just been offered a NIB 1808EDS so he jumped on it.

These rifles were built in the 70's & 80's and are classic examples of "old school" German design and engineering.

It's amazing how small the lockup surface is on the 54 action - yet they are so incredibly accurate. Throws the "triple lugs are most accurate 22lr" concept into the wind.
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?
