My gun has the rounded forearm but the gun has been re blued and I think it has custom stock and forearm. I looked again for the letters stamped in front of the trigger guard with a magnifying glass and it looks like the letter C . That would indicate it was made in 1951. It has cut checkering and an black cap on the front of the forend. The stock also is a monty carlow. The gun is beautiful and I wish you all could see it but I do not know how to post pictures. Not a collector piece for the purest but it looks good in my cabinet. I plan on taking it Hog hunting this winter in Texas. I love the smell of a new gun in the morning!!!!
