He was a friend of my Grandfathers and left all his possessions to him. It was then given to me. I do know the orig owner was a machinist by trade so that may explain the grinding though I still am not sure why. I was told he fought in WW2 or Korea but they weren't sure because he never spoke about it. Judging by his age when he died I am betting WW2. If it hadn't been ground on I would left it alone. I am not a collector and probably never will be but I am a shooter so I decided it was a win win for everyone to part it out. I'll get a good shooting rifle built exactly how I want it and some collectors will get some rare parts for their correct winchester build. Mr. Shufflin ahas been very helpful and patient with me even though I constantly add things and pester him incessantly. Oh, and you purists out there can feel free to vent on me. I completly understand your pain and don't mind a bit. If anyone is interested I can try and get more info on the rifle.
