Further information, courtesy of Dave Norin:

I want to be careful with this one because Steve Nelson did a lot of work on it. I know I did not do the extended tang and quarter rib and it looks like Steve's work to me. 

This rifle was in my shop for quite awhile , but the only thing I can claim for sure is the metal polish and bluing.
