Chuck, sorry this took so long... been away from the forum for a while and missed your post. The rifle has been returned an I got a really nice, all matching Eddystone from the same seller. The Eddy is the real deal unlike the Remington which turned out to be poorly assembled from parts. The stock was an aftermarket, the barrel was not clocked properly along with the cracked receiver. It had also been bead blasted and re-blued.
The crack...
