The barrel does not have the "vise" marks. The 12-27 SA barrel just has a large P adjacent to the sight base and
the number 2 and couple of short straight marks, / or 1 ??
The stock marks are a large B on the top butt end, the number 17 just behind the trigger guard, and a large RI
on the fore end of the stock. Don't see the usual P or JFC, etc. either sanded off or never there.
The bolt has a R1 on top of the handle. No serial number on the bolt.
Hatcher hole in the receiver matches up perfectly with the large hole in the bolt.

The 12-27 SA barrel measures about 1.5 or so both ends.
FWIW=Marine replacement stocks usually had no inspector's cartouche.....Usually no P at the wrist either...My $.02.
I think I figured out what was missing...the proper background...
