I have acquired a 20" barrel, .25-35 with the serial number 426XX. From what i have been able to gather, this is from the early 1900's. It has had the stock replaced, but the original fore end came with the rifle (it has the matching serial number on it). The profile of the original fore end matches the replacement.
What year was it produced and what model do I have?
Also, it has two holes in the tang, but they do not appear to be tapped. I assume these were for a tang sight?
