I guess permanently removing the locks and filling the holes was their way of decommissioning. I imagine no FFL is required at least. Barrels might be salvageable, but doubt it given the rust.

They missed the trigger guard repair. Shocking they didn't find that.

Chief-A, I actually sent them a message asking for the SN. Since the stock has been replaced and the back of the trigger guard and tang altered, it would be on the water-table/action-flats, barrels, and fore-end. Crickets.

I have 581 Reilly's in the database whose parameters are known. Always on the lookout for another since you can never tell when one might appear which changes some of the dating chronology. Thanks for your help.
