Could be total franken gun.. I'm going with a 99H barrel band redone by factory.
As I said, pull the forearm when you get it and let us know what it was. Hope the buttstock/buttplate match receiver.

I'm not as sure as you guys on the buttplate. I'll go back and look.

Have to view the enlarged one, I missed it because on the smaller pic that stupid "SOLD" banner is over the top of the buttplate.

The point on the cheeks is definitely from an earlier rifle, not an 80's saddle gun. I can't tell what plate that has on it. Thanks for the help guys, this is fun.

I did. Saw it yesterday and almost did, but honestly didn't notice all the details we're talking about here. It's a bastard that's been drilled and tapped on the side. It'll be my only one I hate that.

Look at the bright side. It's a 30's gun with a 1-10 twist barrel. Maybe I can shoot 80 grain Barnes ttsx in it.

It has finally arrived. #368,xxx. Matching buttstock, buttplate (like Keiths above), reciever. Barrel is a 1-10" 99A. 99A forearm is coming off. I have a proper barrel band carbine forearm #351,xxx that will make it look a little more acceptable. So it's barrel band carbine again but with a little longer barrel and 1-10" twist.
Interesting in that the barrel wasn't set back to rethread it for the old flat threads. The forearm fit right and everything indexed and lined up as if the V threads went right together with the flat thread receiver. ??? Calhoun *may* be right, rebarreled at factory. How would you ever get the v thread barrel to line up perfectly with the flat thread receiver and end up with the forearm hanger in the right spot otherwise?
I can live with that for a shooter. Scope and mounts came off. Looks real cool with the right barrel band forearm on it and a little longer sight radius.

Did you have to put a groove in the barrel or was it already there?

It was already drilled for sling studs, been reblued, forearm isn't the best, drilled for sidemount. It's a shooter.
It is what it is.
