Unfortunately, I am totally positive that it is 11-43. Upon further examination, the barrel is a much nicer and darker parkerizing than the receiver. It has to be a re-barrel.

I had no chance to disassemble the rifle until after I bought it, but when I did, I was relieved to find that it was not a recovered drill rifle at all. Examining the cut-off area for signs of welding, at the shop, I did not see anything out of the ordinary.

All of the screw heads (except the two action screws) look like they were never messed with or removed. Gotta love that. As soon as "my" camera is back from my oldest daughter's vacation, I'll snap some photos.
