    Your rifle has been arsenal-overhauled, refinished (parkerized), and re-assembled from mixed parts. If the stock is original to the overhaul, then the overhaul was done at Springfield Armory in the early 1920's.

    Stay safe!

    p.s.,

    A very good probability exists that your rifle was once a Special Target or National Match rifle.
