I got this at auction and bid on it for several reasons. I have never seen the, for lack of a better word, Platform for the bottom metal, the shape and size of the forend checkering and the ivory (or light colored) pin through the forend.
The rifle looked very professionally made, and it is. The rifle started life as a "NRA" sales rifle and so marked on the bottom metal. Springfield Armory No. 617266 with a 11-15 barrel, the G&H side mount has the number "914" stamped on the outside.
Nice inletting but not marked, the pad has a leather cover so I won't be destroying that. The pictures made it look like there was a break by the magazine cut-off but just a bad gouge.
