That is a Savage 19-33 NRA Match rifle with some user modifications, especially the rail. Sights could be most anything available over time that fit the users preference. It is the new and improved version of the original 1919 rifle. I have the same rifle and it is a "tack driver" judging from...
First pic is the bench in its normal setting. It's a smaller setup on the end of my basement, actually the only available space that remained.
2nd is a cropped and lightened shot. I was setting up for a photo shoot of the Grigsby press.

The Colteer was and is my first rifle. I inherited it from my grandfathers estate in 1961. It was given to him as a thankyou for all the work he did with the threshing crew when the old thresher was retired and replaced by a combine. Mine is marked Hawthorne (Monkey Wards). I don't shoot it...

A Colt Trooper MkIII, Savage 24, in 22 Hornet, Couple of vintage 22's that I may get out to the range with, or maybe not.
The numbers you see are casting lot numbers, I have seen them upto 12 on the early RC. Like previously mentioned the year of manufacture is stamped on top, usually under the flange. They started that practice in 1961 with the introduction of the Rockchucker.
The Rockchucker is designed from...
I have two of them, a Blackhawk and an H&R Handi rifle. They are fun shooters with mild recoil, less than 44 mag.
I got the Blackhawk years ago with a set of Redding dies. Turns out the dies and chamber are two different sizes, the dies size the case down too much causing excess working of...
