I am not registered on Gunboards, so I can't enlarge the photos, but the thumbnails appear to show an everyday, garden variety Sporter, IF there is such a thing...................

Perhaps you could get the entire serial number from the owner, and we could confirm that?

HTH
I did message to get the confirmation from iskra of Gunboards that the Sporter SRS hit was not listed as NPM. Apologies for leading down the wrong path.

But is not the regular Sporter, as it does have the M1922 pistol grip and buttplate. A real fine looking gun, as well.
