Pics of my "slightly" restored P14

Bought this P14 ten years or so ago. Shot it once, then I replaced the stock because the club it was wearing was the ugliest piece of wood I have ever seen.
Got the replacement stock from Gunparts Co., wrapped in paper and dry as a bone. It was unused and unfinished, but suffered minor scrapes and dents from obviously being in storage for many years.
Also, I refinished the bolt and buttplate as they had both been polished to an almost chromelike shine.
I recently pulled it out of my storage rack, cleaned and lubed and thought I would take some photos.
All parts that are marked are marked with the Eddystone "E" except for the replacement stock (Remington I believe) and the buttplate which is marked "W" which I presume is for Winchester. The barrel and bolt are both stamped with the receiver serial number. The barrel also is stamped with "17" along with the standard proof marks.
One photo shows what appears to be the letter "F" on the rear handguard. Except for the eaglehead and R on the muzzle end those are the only two markings on the stock.
Can anyone give me any additional info about this rifle? It is in absolutely excellent condition, bore looks as good as the outside.
Plan to shoot it soon and will post my results.
Hope you enjoy the photos.

Thanks
