Yes, it was sold to me as a genuine 1920/26. I think the seller was seeing the 24-inch barrel and Lyman sight and not looking at the serial number, bolt, or stock. I should have seen these things as well. He has agreed to take it back and refund my money. The question is should I offer him (a-lot) less and keep it as a shooter? The rifle is a nice bit of kit; shoulders very well, it has the Lyman sight, and, as pointed out by a forum member in a PM, the newer barrel will probably stabilize longer, larger, modern bullets.


It ain't like it used to be but it'll do.
