    May be a blessing in disguise. Look closely on each side of the cut-off. Does it look like disturbed metal/welding/refinishing to you? If it looks like a reclaimed drill rifle when in hand, just hand it back and say, "No, thank you."

    Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't noticed that but will look very closely if he calls me back. I doubt I'll hear back from him.

    Would certainly explain why it's such stellar condition...

    It may just be an illusion, but, the front barrel-band looks like it may be a 1903 band, rather than a 1903A3 band.

    Good catch, That's definitely a 1903 band. Also I would second martin08 --- the cutoff area looks suspicious. Salt Flat
