Odd notch on Rem. receiver

[jmoore]

The stock isn't a later replacement, it's just from the Remington Eddystone facility. Not an uncommon situation. The stocks weren't numbered to the rifles. 95 years. And was in service in various countries about half of that. If the bore is good call it "loverly" and see how it shoots. Note that the bolt wasn't serial numbered at the factory. But it's a perfectly legitimate "in service" Canadian marking, so no worries there.

If it's not insanely priced then it's probably a good enough rifle for most folk. If it's insanely priced, then you might want to move along. (US$3000 would be insane. But I've done it, give or take a bit for one out of the Winchester "collection" and was offered 10 beans immediately after purchase. The really insane part is that I did not take the money and run. Probably wouldn't get it now!)

jmoore........ I was able to own this particular rifle for US $700. That looked pretty reasonable to both the seller and myself. It looks to be a nice sister to the Winchester bought earlier this year. Now, do I go for the hat trick and look for an Eddystone ?? I'm just askin'
