John when you had it apart, could you tell if the wood had ever been heavy barrelled?

Homer
I will check again buddy, get back to you, that will explain the nose cap being opened up..

Hi homer

I don't think it was reamed out for a heavy, have a look at the pics, see what you think mate.
makes me wonder why the nosecap was opened up, or perhaps the wood was replaced also??
Man this rifle has me at 6's and 7's. It may have had a heavy when it was a club rifle? who knows.

I appreaciate the help bud.

cheers
