Calhoun, While making the takedown forearm release button, in looking closer, I noticed that the forearm does have some very faint checkering lines in it.If I hold it up to the light at the right angle, you can tell that it was checkered. From the finish, it looks like the checkering was sanded down and refinished... I do believe i have an original set of furniture.
Yep, was almost sure of it when you said the numbers were stamped on it. It'll shoot just fine without the checkering.
