Thanks, Bob,
I know I was blessed and watched over thru all that.
That action was and is a mystery. It obviously shows master class workmanship, but no one knows who did the work.
Somebody went to some trouble to configure it like that, no doubt getting ready for a custom build that never happened. I bought it here on the Fire for $550 to my FFL. The seller had picked it up at a gunshow, also contemplating a build that never happened.
It really belongs in a fine walnut stock with all the trimmings. But for now, the B&C Medalist will have to do.
