Raimey;
Thanks, but I can post the pictures, just haven't taken any so have none at present to post. Unfortunately, I cannot say for certain the R&S was on my gun but the patent 397 definitely is as well as the "makers patent action 257764".
Very interesting article that STEVE HELSLEY & ROGER SANGER wrote for Shooting Sportsman mag. All these years I have been pronouncing my gun as a "Clay-Bro" rather than a "Clay-Burro", got to learn to say it properly. I can easily see that would have been the pronunciation before John Plumb dropped the Y & first O from the spelling. Would appear, though he changed the spelling he did not change the pronunciation.
