    There is a circled "P" proof mark on the pistol grip face.
    What is your reasoning for it not being IHC ?
    Is it H&R ?

    1. No indented contour right side top edge alongside of receiver heel.
    2. No numbers in the barrel channel.
    3. Never saw any IHC with small DAS stamp.

    That's pretty conclusive. Looks like HRA but no clear photo of bottom of pistol grip or of proof "P" mark to make a distinction.

    I added picture of proof "P"
    Thanks for your information.

    I edited what I said as I now think what looks like a Partial v-notch trigger housing lock up area is damaged making it look like this. I vote HRA also. Rick Bicon

    Although I too now believe the stock is HRA, the trigger housing lock up area is not damaged and is in fact more "V" shaped than the picture shows.
