Yep, still interested here.

I have done a little thinking about this. As Remington made M17 as did their subsidiary Eddystone and Rem, as far as I know were the only ones to make the Model 30,I would think the rifle is a Remington. Otherwise it is a very good copy and could have been a Winchester or one of the other 2. I was hoping the gunsmith/company that did additional work would have left the Serial No. intact if not the manufactures name. I also would have thought the gunsmith/company would of had their name on it somewhere to be seen.
