He moved from WA to OR IIRC but it's been a long day. He does awesome work. Will post his name when I recall it if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

Randy and I had a nice transaction about a couple months back, and I can truly say I would vouch for him as a member. 
He's a man of his word!
Glad you we're able to finish you're task, as you did that pretty handily, if you ask me!

No need to recommend Wyoming Armory, as they won't take anymore work for a year!  I just spoke with Mark there.

With the inspectors mark on the wrist it is military. They were issued to the 3rd US Vol Veterans Infantry Div

The gun was issued to the volunteers as an sigh on bonus as they could take the gun with them when they muster out. Mine was issued to a Abraham Josephs. Check with Vonny  at The Horse soldier. She researched the serial number at the National Archive's and found all sorts of goodies for me on my rifle  Like muster cards and even a ledger Paige of him signing for the rifle

You have a good one

As you may remember I was looking for the Winchester Eagle Scout Boy Scout commemorative set and all that go with it for my 3 sons. Thanks to many on here I was able to acquire 3 sets with the rifle rack and scabbard. These were not easy to find or cheap but I met a lot of different people willing to help me. If I can help any of you with anything let me know
I will do my best to return the favor.
Again Thank you

Taks a real close look on the left side of the wrist for either a JT or AWS mark.  Attached are some photos.
