Wow - I thought this was a Hail Mary pass and you all have been amazing! It was a $200 pick (Ben's Loan in Renton, WA Hal O'Peridol), so I am a winner regardless. I have shot it a few times and can only say that it shoots consistently. I can group shots well enough together at the 50 yard range I can set up at my parents' house.

I am adding a few additional photos I can pull off of the barrel. I would love to pull the stock and see what's stamped under the wood, but can't get it to budge (the fore end band is pinned (also pictured) and I am 'gun shy' about pulling screws willy nilly - though I have been able to get the trigger guard and magazine frame off - progress!). If you know how to walk me through disassembly I would appreciate any direction.

I think a restoration is out of the cards - something about a non-original barrel just doesn't sit well with me. Plus, I think it is gorgeous as is - reminds me of a Greener Lee Speed carbine I once saw or an RIC Carbine - I just want to see a better rear sight than what it has. And it looks like 5-groove rifling to me, but to be honest it is hard to keep count...

Northof60 - thanks for the images. I wound't have guessed it would have looked anything close to that.
