The serial number dates it 1917. The forearm matches. Not sure about rear sight it's stamped with a circle R. Buttstock has some flaws but it has a cool wooden buttplate. 19" to the receiver barrel.

Good for You! That money was just going sour in the bank, might as well turn it into some real fun like a 22HP! I'll be looking forward to your first range results.

I've misplaced my book, is a 20" barrel takedown is a 1899H? Is that the correct rear sight?
Thanks,
Robert

If it's a 1917 then, yes, it's an 1899 H. That wooden butt plate is kind of cool. Looks like it still has the curve under it so it may not have been cut? If they made the plate to lengthen the pull, that sure beats cutting it off to put a thick pad on, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Were it me, I would have bought a correct butt plate for that poor girl before introducing her to society.
How's the bore? Headspace? In a rough gun intended for shooting, those two attributes are of paramount importance. Not that this is a rough gun necessarily (well, except for the butt plate).

The butt stock looks fine. I'm pretty sure the wooden buttplate was made to fit the contour of the original - which may have been hard rubber.

The bore looks great, not sure about headspace. I do like to see a mint original rifle or shotgun but I'm drawn to the one's that have that been there and done that look for some reason.

If your rifle has the "SAP" proof on the barrel and receiver it would indicate that the rifle was back to the factory around 1929-1930. That proof was only used for a short time.
