Many thanks to relics 6561 and Newton Dan. You have confirmed what I knew, added to my knowledge and I thank you both. I have the bolt and will check the rail polishing I've been studying Book of the Springfield by Brophy. The barrel has the star mark on the muzzle and no other star numbers.
By the way, the barreled action is in a sporter stock identified by Monte Mandarino as being the work of Seymour Griffin. The stock has a name penciled in the barrel channel and a date of 6/20/27. I'll be photographing the rest of the rifle soon and will try and post a pic or two here.
