next pic shows the buttstock, swivel and sling on the 1940 vintage RS. It has a Lyman 70LH peep sight (not shown).

For comparison a 1950 vintage R. It has the sling eyes like the RS so it have started life as an RS. Serial #5739XX. Note the simpler checkering.

The 1950 R has a Boone 2 1/4 power scope. I posted many years ago. Figured the new guys would like to see it.
