Hello Gents,

Thanks for the input, I'm learning alot!

Please rest assured that this fine little rifle has not been desicrated, there are no holes in it, nor will there be while it is in my care.

Paul there are no markings identifying model, but I understand that the "light weight" or "special lightweight" was designated "model III", is that contrary to your understanding?

There is an older thread here discussing one of Bell's 275 Rigbys that illustrates the same bolt handle & stock configuration, but does not indicate the vintage of that speciffic rifle.

I look forward to your comments.

Mark
