Is it? I know nothing about these.
So is this top plate welded on from 1906?
Is it common for a chunk to be missing?
Should i do anything to repair it?
1906... hmmmm same year the famous 30-06 rifle round was introduced.
Thank you.
Now i need to post pics of the top. Because im not sure if the top plate is partually broken off or if someone welded on another plate
