Waterman - you have one of the no good Buffalo Newton rifles, guite the contrast quality wise from the Original Model or the 1922 Newton Mauser, which were both examples of first rate riflemaking.

xausa - I should have said MAN AT ARMS, my thoughts are pretty much stuck in pre-1920 mode. I don't think any MAN AT ARMS articles are available on the internet, but I could mail you a xerox.
