I believe you wrote an article in the GCA Journal some time ago about rifles such as this. WORDOR I think. Note the sellers name "CPuller" Chesty Puller I would guess.

And a super duper rare IHC 1951 barrel, They have to get the award for creativity anyway,

I wrote up that rifle in the GCA Journal at least 10 years ago, probably more. It's classic WARDOR and resurfaces periodically as the unfortunate current owner tries to Pass The Trash to some unsuspecting newbie who thinks he has found a treasure. I examined a M97 Trench Gun at the Houston show that had the same profusion of stamps and text, and even got to meet Mr. Dorill who was standing behind his table. The stamps he used on these guns were good enough to be real, maybe from an armorer's kit of some kind. He has since passed away.

That was the first thing I thought, the stamps were far too deep and clear for this to be good.

I see that David Carradine had been taken in with a rifle a lot like this one. Both IHC but different serial numbers.

David Carradine

I didn't know he was a shooter. Who'd have thought?

I think his brother Kieth is a gun collector shooter.Perhaps a connection. Sad how David died. I liked his acting.

Despite an attempt to dodge the draft, in 1960 Carradine was inducted into the United States Army,where he drew pictures for training aids. That Christmas he married his high school sweetheart, Donna Lee Becht. While stationed at Fort Eustis, Virginia he helped to establish a theater company which became known as the "entertainment unit".[24] He met fellow inductee, Larry Cohen, who later cast him in Q, The Winged Serpent. He also faced court-martial for shoplifting. In 1962, Donna gave birth to their daughter, Calista. Carradine was honorably discharged after a two-year tour.
