KillerBee;
Good afternoon to you again my new cyber friend.
As mentioned to Teal, my day just could not have gone better thus far thanks and I hope you're having a good one too.
Regarding the maker, depending upon how much polishing BSA did, there "might" be a mark under the front scope mount on the receiver ring.
If they got zealous with the polishing, it might be that it'll be a mystery for the ages, you know?
Good luck with that quest and your hunts as well sir.
Dwayne
