I pulled the action today and there are two numbers under the receiver ring, 49345 and 22220. the trigger sear parts have the number 45 on them so I'm guessing they go with the number 49345? I couldn't see the rear wall of the magazine since it was tight and I don't own it yet and didn't want to pry on it, it had also been glass bedded, looks like a nice job. The bolt shows color case hardening and I imagine this was a pretty decent rifle in it's day, Is the spoon shaped bolthandle considered unclassy? I kind of like it, maybe because all other bolt handles are usually the normal round ones. One other question on the stock pins.. Are they factory or added at a later date? they strike me as a bit crude.
