The barrel is a mail-order replacement and the I believe the super-grade swivels have been added as well. Price seems a bit steep for a rifle with such alterations. I’m guessing the bidders don’t know any better.

I see the second mark on the barrel but I can’t make it out? I don’t see an OP?

yep, it has the Winchester proof on the bbl as well as the mail order. I guess that means factory replacement? Rifle was awfully cheap. Big Larry

The ling swivel mounts are factory original (special ordered). I suspect that the barrel is also correct. This was a late production Model 65, more than likely assembled after WW II, and Winchester used a barrel in inventory. The fact that it has a No., 98C bolt peep sight is a very strong indication it was originally built to be a 218 Bee.
I believe that the price was reasonable.
