I'm working on a display of the S-man for the Kansas City show in late July and I will then have some photos to post.
I finally got the Redfield base off the new rifle and now I know what the mysterious cut in the wood and on the side of the receiver rear were for. Under the Redfield base was a very large filled dovetail so the gun had a German claw mounted scope at one time. The flat spot and two holes on the side were for the rear mount which must have cantilevered over the rear bridge. I'll try to get some photos taken tomorrow.
