The surplused CNo7 receivers I've seen were boxed (2 per box) and wrapped for long term storage. Boxes were brown cardboard and marked Montreal Ordnance and sold off by Crown Assets in the 70's. No serial numbers. These were used for repair and serial number of damaged rifle restamped. Post WW2 all assets were transfer to CA (Canadian Arsenals) who operated for many more years...mid 60's (I believe).

If you can get a picture of the left side butt socket it will tell the story.

CNo7 barrels never had bayonet lugs so that detail appears to be correct.

Handguards - both grooved and non grooved were used.

Is the left side of the mag marked "22" with the correct single shot follower.

Do you know wood species? I've seen some awesome highly figured birch stocks on Cno7. Fiddleback walnut is extremely rare.

Like to see some pictures before saying "jump on it"
