Joe,

Thanks for the reply. No scope or bases. Were these guns typically marked for the rifle caliber? It is marked 16 on the bbl flats, but I dont recall seeing a clue for the rifle. I'll look for three numbers.

I suspected it was pre-war...had that look. I failed to mention the horn buttplate & trigger guard as I guess those are typical. Set trigger. I believe the bbls were approx 26".
