Could be a custom shop model 700. Should say Custom Shop on barrel or floorplate........but not always. Cartridge stamp usually looked hand stamped too......but not always. For the KS this started somewhere in the 2006-2008 timeframe - at the absolute tail end of production.

Yup, If it was a KS from that era it would be a ADL and barrel wouldn't have any markings except the date/year code and the caliber and yes they looked like they where hand stamped.

Any chance you could post those mediocre pictures so we could add them to this thread for future reference? This question comes up periodically, and pics would be a nice addition.

Before pics are up we have to get the beer bets squared away on which model it is.

The RS that I have is a BDL model, as I believe they all were.

My email address is in my profile and I would be happy to post pics if you email them to me.
FS is my guess

The FS was an ADL configuration, while the RS was BDL. From the pics, that is an FS model. Nice rifle.

Final question, any reason I shouldn't get this thing threaded? Like will I be killing some sort of collector value or anything? Don't really need a 7 Mag but have a suppressor in ATF jail that should tame it were it threaded...
