</span>[/DIV][DIV]<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.960000038146973px;">The rifle is still fairly new to me. I purchased it from a guy in Quebec who got it in an estate sale. I had no idea of this rifles history until it was in my possession and I started researching it. I’m certain now that he didn’t know what it was either. I’m told the rifle is in the same condition as when he purchased it, so I’m making an assumption that the sling and oiler got left behind in the estate (if they made it over seas at all).</span>[/DIV][DIV]<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.960000038146973px;">
</span>[/DIV][DIV]<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.960000038146973px;">I find it unlikely that the previous owner replaced the sling swivel so it was likely the owner prior to him, or perhaps earlier still. The history of the stock has been the most elusive for me but I think any of the theories above could hold merit. I’ll have to accept that I may never know.</span>[/DIV][DIV]<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.960000038146973px;">
