Boltman,

That butt plate brings up another question. When was that BP first used?

Does anyone have an 1899 with that BP and a serial earlier than 49,000?

1) 51137 20 inch RB, straight stock,checkered wood, engraved panels, gold plated scews, new unfired condition, complete with documentation from 1904
2) 49005 20 inch RB, Perris special engraved on left, tang sight,
well used prototype of the above rifle and is included in the documentation

Boltman...note that it lists the second one as a "prototype".

It may be (and probably is) this. At any rate, they're mineral streaks, whether in the wood or in the finish.

Hey Boltman...I sent you a package today.

1. The open rear sight does NOT look like a factory installation.

2. Though there is no good pic of the back end of the open rear sight, it seems to me that elevation in this case could have been adjusted by a (currently missing) U-shaped piece (cut with 'steps') fitting under & around the sides of the sight, which would move it up & down by being pushed back & forth. Marble, Redfield & others used such a system on some of their open rear sights - instead of a screw, or a solid step-cut piece fitting in a slot in the sight.

It seems as though the rifle is a proto-type.Not xactly sure yet...if it is the case...the sight likely has relevance.

Boltman got the letters and he likes...and wants to share some of his stuff w/ya's.
I'm writing to protect him from anyone asking for freebie copies of the letters.He paid very dear for them...same as I did when I found them.So be kind please.
