It's going to remain original.
According to everything I've been able to find on the 'net indicates this rifle was made in 1958 - it's stamped 11J in the oval inspectors mark. It's a true short action according to all the measurements with a serial number of 121xx - wondering if I have one of the first short action 110's in .308. My understanding is that the short action came out in 1959 not 1958...
I'll post some pics soon.
