New guy seeking answers

[wadevb1]

Thank-you Badger for editing my pictures.

I would like to add a few comments. The only cartouche I can locate on the stock is the one pictured, no other markings and I believe it to be AOD or AOB. I can't locate the letter P behind the trigger guard.

I have found the letter R (Remington?) stamped on many of the individual parts. I removed the barrel shroud and located the letter P stamped into the barrel along with the stamp C126.

Last fall while shooting at a local range a group of guys showed up with their Springfield's. Watching them shoot reminded me what I had in the safe and thought she should put to use.

Any information would be greatly appreciated,

Wade

Gonna need John Beard for this one. Very interesting rifle.

I truly don't know what I have. I know my father acquired the rifle from an Uncle in the mid 1960's. Unfortunately, my Uncle has since passed and that is where the information stops. I do understand I have the "safe" action and perhaps the RIA 2-19 stamp adjacent to the front sight indicates year of installation? I do know RIA stands for Rock Island

One thing I can add is the action is very tight.

Thank-you,

Wade
