Doesn't have a model number.

Many mail order surplus gun sellers in the 1950s-60s sold the butchered BSRs for around $25-35. Equivalent to around $300-350 in today's inflated dollars. And there was nothing illegal about no questions asked mail order gun sales then.

Here's one such offering.

Probably the most interesting and well-known chopped BSR is the one allegedly used by Lee Harvey Oswald to kill Dallas police officer J. D. Tippitt after the JFK assassination. I wonder where it is today.

I believe it's presently in the possession of the U.S. National Archives. Below is a photo of it (serial number [FONT=&quot]V510210).[/FONT]

To the OP, welcome to the forum! Just as a minor point of clarification, I suspect the grips on your chopped Victory are actually a brand called Franzite. The Jay Scott faux stags were a higher quality which were laminated to wood and had a characteristic sandwich appearance when viewed from the butt. Yours are most likely a hollow plastic casting. Both types were popular replacements back in that era. Don't over tighten the grip screw as they are prone to cracking at the screw hole. Good shootin'.
