Good observation Dean.
Just curious. What would a grade-2 gun have cost in this time frame? Why would someone have paid this amount to re-barrel a gun rather than buy the upgraded version if cost were similar?
Possibly the original barrels were damaged or lost some how? Could this explain why the forearm was replaced with a Gr-2 replacement? Why would the original forearm not have been used?
All interesting things to ponder !! What are you're thoughts?
