The gun has a receiver made in 1957 & the barrel was made in 1955 only. note the three line address (made in the USA).

Bolt handle appears to have been altered for scope clearance.

Looks like the cheek piece has been altered also.

Maybe so. But this tough crowd might have saved me a few hundred a few years ago had I known the things they have taught me since then.

Answering a message I got to the barrel. earlier dated barrels on later dated receivers is very common. but in this case, this barrel (with 3 line address) is very rare & made for a very short time in '55' & only put on receivers made in that year serial number range. it is a "lunch box" gun. it would be nice to see the bottom of the barrel to see if it is marked SUPER.

Well it appealed to someone who had $3681 in their bank account.
