Could be anything and dsducati could be right. A standard 270 did not come with a recoil pad, so stock is not all original. The missing sights could be either factory special order,a Gopher Special(unlikely),or probably someone removed the sites. Could be reblue.
Still....with all that,and even if it's just a shooter,if it's mechanically sound it will likely outlast you and me and still be hunting after we're long gone.And in all liklihood, it will feed,extract, eject,and work flawlessly,and probably outshoot a new Kimber...and you could throw the barrel and stock away and still get $500 for the action alone.If you want to make a custom rifle on it, you can do that,too.
Is that worth a grand? I dunno...up to you
