It looks custom with a 1917 action.
The family thought it is a Winchester 30-06, but no Winchester markings at all.

The iron sights have been removed and it’s been tapped for a scope mount.
I removed the scope mounts but can’t find a single marking anywhere on the action, bolt, barrel or stock. No manufacturer, model, caliber or serial number.

Everything has been polished but I see no evidence that anything was ground off. Where I have seen manufacturer marking on other 1917's is just bare metal on this rifle.

I was told by a number of people not to worry about it.
The owner of the gun told me it was his grandfather’s and too old to need to be registered, but as far as I know that’s not true.

My main concern is I want to register it so it is completely legal and I will probably want sell it, so I assume it would need a serial number.

Any thought on what this model is, the value and where to find the serial number or any ID markings?

Tnx.
