Grasping at straws here, in hopes that someone might recognize this name. I purchased this #1 Rolling Block Sporter last November, and have been messing around with saving it. It was custom stocked some time long ago, and has a Winchester 1885 style forearm shape, with the ebony insert in it. Buttstock is also custom, with a hard rubber buttplate, and both are checkered in a fairly coarse pattern that looks like 12 or 14 LPI. Also has Winchester style sling eyes. One on the buttstock, and one 2" ahead of the forearm on the barrel.
While working on it today, I found a rollstamp under the forearm on the barrel, "E. C. HACKETT". Not sure with the many times I had the forearm off since last November, why I didn't see it before? It's very even, and not done with individual stamps, so I figure it's most likely not the owner, but maybe the gunsmith who restocked it?
Maybe someone knows the name?
