Identify this 6.5 Swede

I saw one for sale at the Duguld show for $450, wasn't intrested because I thought someone drilled a bunch of holes in the muzzle. I did pick one up at the neepawa show for $315 - no bayonet.

IMHO, the rifle including the bayo is worth around $325. No more. Someone has sanded the hell out of the stock. Look at the rounded finger grooves. The edges should be sharp and the original color of the wood should be dark brown.

The date should be stamped on the left side of the receiver.

I think you're wrong, nice piece close to the original color. Check out the sharp edges around the marking disk.

I'm with bearhunter on this one. That stock just screams sanded to me. Look at the edges of the finger grooves and the area around the recoil lug. The pics are absolutely horrible though so I could be wrong.
 
I tried to get some better pics out of him, but when I told him the price ranges discussed here (even the top end) he became disinterested. He thought he'd stumbled across a $2K gun. Thanks for your help guys.
 
One of these sold at Switzer's April auction. Sold for 600 bucks if I remember correctly. Not including buyer's premium (10%) or tax. Nice rifle but not minty or anything. Price was so good that I decided to part with one of mine which will be at August sale. I can only hope to do as well!
 
I recently missed out on one of these for 125 bucks that had a very poor bore apparently. Wish I could have moved a little faster on it. The mag is worth more than that.
