A deal was struck, and I think I did ok even if it is just an early BSR.
I'll clean it up tomorrow and start the search for some correct stocks.
It has the usual dents and dings from a long life that somehow led it to a Cripple Creek, Colorado police evidence locker. The action is smooth and it locks up tight. I already reload for .38 S&W so it will see plenty of range time.
My other BSR (below) is the usual 5" variety, replete with British proof marks and stampings. This 4" one avoided all of that.
What would the correct grips be? Checkered service, with medallions? Or would it have already had the smooth ones?
