In my spare time I'm still trying to learn what I can about this rifle. A couple of things that seems, for lack of a better word, different on this rifle is the use of a hook on the barrel but retained the military swivel on the rear. The other thing that I have not seen before is the shaping of the forend leaving some of the grasping groove. Anything else that stands out?

The bottom of the grip checkering seems unusually long and it appears as though there is a good bit of the top of the wrist that is not checkered. It looks unusual to me anyway.

I'll try to find a better picture of the top of the wrist. The forend checkering with the two panels pointing up seems a little different to me as well. I just can't remember this pattern on other stuff.

You have seen orders of magnitude more than I, so if it looks unusual to you, it must be. The long checkering down the belly reminds me of a mid 19th century English gun.
The butt looks short too, which may accentuate the length of the checkering. Does it have a particularly short pull?

The buttstock is still the issue length with the original buttplate.

I've brought in a suspect for Q&A and if I could get some better pictures we could have a line-up.
If you have the 1995 Guns & Ammo Annual and a scanner you would be a big help.

Michael,
I have the 1995 annual. (And my wife thinks I am crazy for keeping all these old magazines!)
Are you interested in the "...1910 Paul Wolff conversion for Merritt Adamson.." that is shown on page 93 in the article by Jack Lott?
Let me know how I can help.

If it weren't for the wonder of electricity, you'd be reading this post by candle light!

Lou M Thanks Lou, I have a poor copy of that article, I'll post below the picture I have. looking for a clear picture, or at least better than what I have.
