What action is this? Larger then 44, mechanically similar.

Yep, entire rifle in good shape with new barrel but needs new pivot screws I hope. Lever doesn’t quite over center and latch lever up. 

Guess I’ll need to have the screws made as opposed buying some.

Take a close look at the link and link pins, the holes in the link are commonly worn oblong. 
You should have a nice rifle when you get it finished. Really nice case colors on your action.

I'm not sure if you got your questions answered. The 47 is the model number, also known as the "Modern Range" model. The different models 45-47-49-52 etc were made on both the 44 action and the 44 1/2 action. You have a 44 action. Generally speaking, the higher the number, the finer the quality of the rifle. (Checkering, Engraving, wood quality etc). The model 44's and 44 1/2s were the basic models for each line. The model 45 "Range Model" was the next step up and the first in lines(s) with Swiss buttplates as standard. Obviously, your barrel has been replaced and the buttplate has been altered.

This action is physically larger then either 44 action I have and the pins/pivot screws are different. Deilet actually answered.

Thats the pivot pin for the breech block, all 44 actions have it. The extra screw on this one is at the bottom. Not many 44’s had double set triggers with a removable tang. Same triggers used in the 44 1/2.

Not sure what you’re asking or seeing.
Your drawing looks like an early 44 action, lower side wall than the later action, maybe a little more square cut. But not a 100 series that was square like the sidelate models. 
The block you drew looks like it used a 7 o’clock extractor which rode on the side of block instead of centered. Again indicating early 44 production.

As for trigger screw holes, on the 44, the trigger pivoted on the pin, that places the hole more or less between the screw holes on models fitted with the double set tang. You can’t really add set triggers to a 44, had to be done at the factory, or plug the existing hole. 44 1/2 used a two screw tang for both single and double trigger varieties.

The photo is a 6 o’clock extractor, model 44 action, fitted with double set triggers. The trim on the one in thread is 47 and with the extra thick action, is what makes it a Schuetzen.
