I found a few pics at work that I took before I disassembled it, not the best, but I can get more tonight.

JohnE: Your bolt handle (flat checkered knob) appears to be for the Model-1912 Karabin. The front sight looks like a Lyman 'banded-ramp' (covering up the location of the original military sight).
The stock appears to be a cut-down M-12. I can see a plug where the rear swivel/'eye' screw use to go through the butt stock. The military butt plate has been replaced.
It looks like the small cross-hole that normally goes through the front of a rifle style trigger-guard is filled. This would suggest it may have had the 'eye'-bolt arrangement, I described above, and this was cut off to streamline the guard.
I don't see any mysteries here. It is a 'sporterized' Model 1912.

I had noticed the plug on the bottom and sides, so that explains those. The trigger does appear that it may have had the ring cut off. It is a rather crude is some ways....but I can see a difference between the way the front and rear are finished. No number on the TG. All numbers match on the bolt. I appreciate all the info.....! I hope its a "shooter", as soon as it warms up I will see what it can do.

John,
In your photos I see what looks like a box dedicated to gun cleaning with a built in set of supports to hold a rifle in place while you work on it. Can I get any manufacturer and source info on it ??? It looks like it would be pretty handy. Thanks.
