The scope bases and rings are Redfield - scope may be a later replacement as I don't think Leupold was on the market back then - might want to replace with a 3 -9x Redfield as that's what is on mine. Bolt handle forged to clear scope, safety added maybe Pachmayer and jeweled. Stock looks to be Fajen or Roberts Wood Products. Roberts offered a complete conversion similar to yours with these features. Trigger guard is most interesting....if you take apart pls post a couple pictures of it. Sure like to have a couple of these for my Springfields.
Enjoy,
