Michael,
How old do you think that rifle is? I ask because I notice that they have abbreviated Missouri as MO. That is the state's postal abbreviation that I think the USPS adopted in the 60s or 70s. Maybe in the case of Missouri it was always MO, but it surprises me. I would not expect a pre-war rifle from Minnesota to have MN in dual capitals and no period, but rather Minn.

Nice checkering. What caliber is it?
