Here is the information on my SRC if it’s not in the survey. 22” round barrel has been replaced and the holes on left side for receiver sight were poorly plug welded.

Hi

 

Thank you for the information.  I didn’t have that serial number recorded before.  I looked at the RIA listing to see the rest.  Wondering if the buttstock was replaced at some time also.  Thanks again.

Regards

It’s definitely been to bubba’s shop, but it doesn’t shoot bad.  

Thanks,

Hey Guys I recently rescued an 1895 serial #63530 standard rifle in 405. 

High condition—very well preserved

steel buttplate shotgun style

Lyman 21 rear sight 

standard looking ramp and dovetailed front

Marbles Sheard gold bead sight 

Matting on the top/front of the reciever 

The 24 inch barrel appears to be of high quality but is definitely not OEM

no upper proof mark—stamped 405 WCF on top 

underside of barrel — AP DUNN 988 with a clean and proper dovetail arrangement to secure the forend 

I will do a little more research—there was a story about the barrel I didn’t follow up on.  

Whoever did the gunsmithing was a pro—no signs of “Bubba” anywhere

Small omission on the above non standard barrel—no dovetail  (sight delete?) for the normal barrel sight.

Again—the barrel appears to be of very High end quality and matches very well with the fit and finish of the wood and metal. PH
