I have one that looks about like it, except for a 22 inch barrel, and a slightly different shape to the stock.
Mine was sitting on a table with some newer, much nicer, guns, at a show, 4 or 5 years ago.
It did not fit in with the other stuff he had, and when I showed interest, he would not let me leave with out it, so I finally walked away with it for $75.00
Some one had started it, and kind of made a mess of the sights. It had a pretty ugly barrel cut off job too, and no crown.
Oddly enough their wood working skills were pretty good, and I really did nothing to improve that part, except to steel wool, and add a couple coats of Tru-Oil.
I put a set of 700 Remington sights on mine, and my gunsmith crowned the bore, and another guy helped me slow rust blued it.
It shoots pretty good, and I think enough of it, to keep it in my gun safe, and not behind the seat of my truck, as I originally planned to do.
