I think that someone put some nice wood on well used standard 81. Look at the B stamping on the receiver. That is not the quality or same font as the 81 stamp. The butt stock does not look like a good fit. The wear on the metal is inconsistant with the lack of wear on the wood. I think someone is trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Nice wood though.

somebody else in here had a B grade too, might have been 8mm06. I think his "B" stamp looked very similar

You are correct in that 81. I'll try to set up a new pic. The checking is correct and the letter B looks ok also. I had made an offer on this one some time ago .

The auction is closed now. I wonder if it sold for the listed bid of a bit over $700?
