Strange indeed.
Have to hand it to him that his photos represent it well!
If a prospective buyer wanted to know the original number, removal of the buttstock could reveal such information “given that’s the original trigger guard”.

I wonder what the point was in altering the SN.

This thing might still shoot ok. It appears to have been rode hard and put away wet. The restamped number is a red flag for me. Definitely not for me, although the 35 Remington barrel is probably worth something. The peep sight may be worth something also. Just the ramblings of a retired old man.

"Rode hard and put away wet"/"restamped number is a red flag to me"!!!!!! Amen to that!!!! That rifle is one ya would only buy after examining it personally, ie 'eyeballing it', but with all the unknowns and questionable baggage it carries more than likely be a pass.Roger wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 6:03 am This thing might still shoot ok.
