I have a custom 375 H&H rifle that I had purchased a while back. I inspected the gun and it shoots just fine, so I never gave it much thought. Upon my trying to sell the rifle, some people have asked some questions I can't answer.
Most want to know who made the receiver and barrel. The barrel has no markings other than "375 HH". The receiver on the other hand has a few that I can't figure out. The first is on the outside, left side of the receiver there is a crow's foot stamp.

Something like that but it is all connected. The toes are little more angled and all three are the same length.
Another two markings are astrics, *, one on the extractor itself, the other on the bolt handle.
Yet another one is sort of an X with a box, I'll try to recreate...

Sort of...
The other two markings are stamped on the underside. The first is on the bottom front and is stamped "HS", the other is "F3" and is on the back left wall. It looks like there might also be a faint "F5" pm the back right wall. The receiver is an Enfield style, something like a 1914 or 1917. The load spring looks like it might be an original out of a 30-06 from seeing the one in my buddies 1917 30-06. I was told the rear receiver "ears" were cut as well to make way for the 2 piece scope mount. The barrel has mounted iron sights, the rear is adjustable. The stock is a little different too, kind of a sandy feel to it, grey in color. The bolt and receiver are both stamped with matching serial #'s too, 668207.
Any info on this custom job would be helpful, thanks. Also, I got the rifle out of MN when I bought it, if that might help any, IDK.
