Is the action identical to the 300s 300su?.
If the answer is yes, the value is in the stock?.

The trigger is also slightly different at it is set up to act as a single stage unit rather than a two stage on the universal or the normal 300S.
From memory the unit had an extra spring that pulled the trigger blade back, essentially taking out the first stage movement.
You could unhook and remove this spring and get a two stage operation, but the trigger unit was definitely not as sensitive as the Universal or Match versions.
People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.
