I photographed this rifle about 6 years ago. It is a very fine rifle in a client's collection. There are more pics in the Owen thread and I probably have a few more that are not accessible at the moment.
I'm no Springfield expert and can't remember more than what is seen in the pics. I think the cut-off reshape a nice touch. Just looking, it would be a bit tricky to file-up especially with a case hardened action.
This is the only other pic I have at hand.
