Hello all

This critter has come to live with me for a while. But, please god, someone tell me it hasn't been bubba'd. Whats with these two screws. Has someone tried to drill and tap for scope mounts?

Interestingly, it appears to have a single stage trigger. Was that a standard thing with these sporters or an after market fix.

Was this method of identifying proof common, or is it something I should be aware of?

Here are some more pics. It has been restocked I think. Nice stick though. Yet to shoot it and won't till a smith has a gander at those screws.

Very interesting front sight

Any info that anyone can supply would be great, especially rough vintage.

All numbers match.
Many thanks

CF
