Thank you for the info!,
The frame has a 219 on it, so I am going to assume it was acquired as a .22 Hornet rifle and the 20 gauge barrel was an add on. That may explain the stiff action with the shotgun barrel. Probably needs some fitting. I'll shoot the Hornet check for accuracy, and might casually look for a barrel in 30-30 just for ammunition availability. Handling it this am, the forstock won't snap into place. I suppose I'll have to tinker with it some more.

Thanks again,
Oscar Zulu
