I don’t think this is factory checkering.  Am I correct?

Dominic,

You are correct, that is not Winchester factory checkering.

Thanks

I was sure it was not both because of the courseness and the pattern toward the receiver.

Then I found this mark on the fore end and the word special made me wonder.

I assume this mark only refers to the extra light weight barrel.
