Peck, the manager of Arms Product Planning identifying this rifle as authentic and used for cartridge development. This rifle is pictured on page 304 of “THE RIFLEMAN’S RIFLE” by Roger C. Rule. Although it is identified as SN 277805 (a 22 Cal. Spcl rifle also offered elsewhere in this auction), close examination of the photo reveals particular identifying marks found on this rifle.
