Yeah I noticed where the wrapping used to be but thought that the cross bolt and Ishy screw were the same thing.

I agree with Ridolpho there. Revert it back to an EY rifle. I detail how to replace the copper wire binding somewhere. The nut and bolt were 1/4" or 0BA steel shank. Both acceptable alternatives.
Longrifle75, is there a "GF" stamped on top of the receiver and/or barrel?
Ill have to check.Quote:

The serial number on the barrell or on the wood?Quote:

Yeah I looked underneath and saw a faint number underneath where the rear sight would be but it didnt look like the number on the bolt or the barrel. I think what Ill do is try to find a good set of wood for it. I got to looking at the wood now that its torn apart and its in pretty poor shape. It also looks like the rifle has been fired with the cosmoline still on it.............
