					                        <description><![CDATA[<p>We're all looking forward to the photos.  I know I am.  This is an enjoyable mystery.</p>
<p>There are a couple possibilities and I am drawn to the most interesting one - two actions.</p>
<p>I do think, in all probability, there is one pistol grip action and two pistol grip stocks.</p>
<p>I suspect there is only one stock with the rifle now.  And if so, is it plain or fancy?</p>

					                        <description><![CDATA[<p>I would want to see the ledger entry to see how it was written along with adjacent entries. I believe its two different stocks for one receiver. If it was two receivers with one barrel they would of applied serial numbers to the receivers since they have to track them in production. They would of put consecutive numbers them or used the 1/2 serial number as they did in the 73's for accidental duplicates. I can't see two receivers with different specs going through the factory with the same number.</p>

For me, the key here is that it is a takedown rifle.<br />
This was ordered as basically the opposite of ordering a rifle with two barrels/front ends.<br />
And when a rifle was ordered with two barrel/front ends, those front ends were never identical (e.g. different chamberings and/different barrel lengths).<br />
In this case, the stocks were different.  And as was suggested, maybe one for display and one for hunting.  <br />
And of course, rather than the task of needing to use a screw driver to change the stocks out, the extra receiver was already attached to the buttstock, so the simple operation of the takedown mechanism made the task quite simple.<br />

<p>Very possible... and undoubtedly a "one-of-a-kind" special order.</p>
