Yes, and we have seen examples of the cut on several previous threads.
I must have been asleep at the wheel when this was posted/talked about. BUT, mystery solved. My 99 "T" serial # 4009xx has the same crosscut groove as GunBroker sold T shown. Always wondered why. The groove is 8 5/8" from face of action. Now I know the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say.
