Anyone have an idea as to who made the barrel. I haven't taken the handguards off it yet, so I don't know what, if anything, is under them. It has been restocked and rebarreled & refinished...but it was a good price, so I brought it home to make into my shooter. I already have a scope mount and a scope for it.

I don't think I could rebuild one for that price. Looks like a new barrel, new stock and reparked. No marks on the stock either, but all the parts I could see (other than the barrel) were marked SA in the pliminary breakdown. I am anxious to see what the barrel is marked. Its in the safe right now and I just realized I forgot to look the the rear and front sights for markings. Jim...aka...hognfrog Deus Indulgeo , EGO operor non

Must be an aftermarket stock, the HRA's had big U-shaped "back-porches", but not that big. The new barrel should make it an excellent shooter, post some target scans after you try it out! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

They have a small show every now and then. I like it because it is small and I can get in and out in about an hour if nothing catches my eye. This is the same show where I found my 1917 Eddystone a couple of months ago. Usually its the same people with a couple of tables of new guys trying to get rid of some of their stuff. Those are the ones I look over carefully, you never know what you will find. Eddystone below: $425 OTD Jim...aka...hognfrog Deus Indulgeo , EGO operor non
