But was it built from an original #5 or a #4 or other? I know of Golden State Arms history....It has rubber butt pad..not lightning cuts...

the date stamped on it is 1943 meaning that it predates the initial release of the #5. also since it has no lightening cuts, it's safe to say that it's either a #1 or #4 action. if you look at the bolt face, it's the same contours as the bolt while the #1 bolt faces were large and more rounded so it is fairly safe to assume that this rifle was converted from a 1943 #4 mk1.
