Nothing close, I'm afraid:
146792R 030410NAT. ECUADORIAN EXPO. (RETD)
154692R 091297DEPT OF DAKOTA INF COMP
Quite clean though. I like it!
On my (very long) list of projects I'd like to do is taking one of these that's been chopped and had the 1903 front sight added and rebuilding the front end to be a 1903.
Stretch the wood out and add a 1903 front barrel band at the appropriate spot for a bayonet to mount.
Sort of a "what-if" transitional carbine type thing.
Some day

As pointed out, but to me not quite clear in text, the front sight has been changed to a 1903 rifle sight, meaning the barrel was cut down when the wood was sporterized. Common for these. I had one where they cut 12" off...usually done to a near new gun because it would make a capitol hunting rifle then. More pics would be good, let us see the side views...?
