Folks now to really add to this mystery gun, aft of recoil lug on the flat of action where the forward receiver hole is tapped is either a sorry eight OR a flaming bomb stamp! I cannot wait to get the gun and strap my gunsmith glasses on, they have been my best investment right up there with Mr Rules book! Somewhere I have a list of SN's that went with all the model 70's Mr VanOrden had made up, it would be a hoot if this SN fell in with that list! I am due a little good luck. very best winpoor
