Does that rifle have a stepped barrel? Hard to see from pic.

Was saying that I wasn't sure, by the pictures, if the lug was still on there hidden by the fabric or not. And it is hard to tell If the outside of the barrel has bee...

It is hard to tell if it has a stepped down barrel like my Stomperud. It looks to have been heavily polished. Not sure if it still has a bayonet lug from the pictures. It is interesting.

It is interesting that it has a checkered carbine bolt handle and not the round rifle knob.

<r>Hello,<br />I recently won an auction for what seems to be all the metal pieces of a Stomperud rifle, minus the cleaning rod, front sight hood and rear sling swivel. Matching barrel, receiver and bolt. I am thinking of buying a full length stock and cutting it down (shudder) or maybe finding a de...

Not sure why they haven't responded yet. I was looking forward to what they might say. I think the stock conversions was done in 1908 if I read it right in another book I just got.
