I have never seen a rolling block with a raised area on the receiver. It is somewhat like a Rigby flat.

I think it's called a Knock's form.

Knox or Nock's form is part of a barrel, not a receiver
  

If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.

Super rifle! Much nicer than some old, weak ballard Wink

I took this picture of a Rolling Block Tony Maddox had on display in Kansas city last summer.  I found the extension of the Rigby flats on the receiver interesting.

Very cool, something to get Greg busy on, if he needs it.

That is one heck of a feat of machining...

The side panels on the barrel and receiver are awesome too!

Oleblacksmith, have you looked for additional markings on the sides of the receiver tangs? You'd have to remove the buttstock to view them.

No I haven't removed the buttstock. Maybe, I will in the next few days, I sort of don't want to mess anything up. If I do remove it I'll post what I find.

Makes you want to find a nice 1000 yd range.
