That looks wonderful. Remington sight base. Westinghouse bolt body. I can't believe nobody was interested. Oh yeah, I forgot, it was just a old junk rifle to the other folks. It was your lucky day. :P

A little update:

Took this sucker apart tonight to start writing my data sheet for it and come to find out it's built on an 1898 Tula receiver. I thought the Eagle on the receiver looked to be pre-1900's. Neat!

Also, can anyone identify the maker of this trigger? I can't say I've ever seen this stamp before and there are no other arsenal proofs on it.
