You have a much better trained eye than me Chuck.  I just assumed that it was a cutdown rifle based on the obvious sanded stock that had no sign of a band spring, as well as no carbine sight.  I knew it was within the carbine range, but I thought the barrel looked a little long, so I leapt to a conclusion.  That's why I'm always glad that there are people here who are wayyyyyyyy more knowledgeable than I!

Incidentally, my grandfather (mother's side) hunted pheasant. partridge, geese, etc.  Not sure if he hunted deer or rodents, but he sure fished a heck of a lot!  I have his gun: a 1949 Ithica Model 37 Featherweight!  I shot a half ton of pheasants and partridges, as well as my first (and only) deer with it.  I no longer hunt though.
