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.
