True, and the #5 "Jungle's" wood contour, just forward of the mag well, has a different shape.
With a #4, the wood contour shape matches the metal on all three of mine.

I doubt that many imitation "Jungles" have an 800-yard sight, but it's possible.
My book by Charles Stratton can also answer some questions.

thedaddycat: You might have decided otherwise by now, but what was the bore/rifling condition, and did the bolt match the butt socket and action?
It might be luck to find one where no metal parts were cut/drilled by some nit wit, as often happened.
