Today at a friends in Whitefish, Montana, I found the receiver for my project. Serial number 1,270,599. It's an SRS hit. Already drilled for a Lyman 48. After a few more questions, we dug through another box of parts and found a Griffin & Howe modified floorplate... I put the receiver into the stock, added the floorplate & sight. They all went together perfect. My friend said he will repair the stock & refinish the metal accordingly & put it all together... this all came together so quickly, it's hard to believe... here are a few pics of the pieces found today... and yes, I think I will go buy a lottery ticket or two tomorrow...
