Last, I think…
Barrel keys were short up front, longer rear. Buttplate screws sit proud/crooked, and there is daylight “just” visible between metal/wood in the curved section. Not the best pics, hopefully shows the fitment issues.

I’m still planning to smooth it up. Probably scrape and the tung oil the stock, after the inletting issues are fixed. Tung oil most likely, Tru Oil and Tung blend last 3 coats. No dyes or bleaches.
 
Oh, both keys fit sloppy in the escutcheos with the barrel removed. Both fit cleanly in the barrel lugs with the stock removed. Assembled? Tap out, tap in.
🤷🏻‍♂️

SeaBee, I just checked the markings on my 1990 Kit GPR. They are exactly like the markings in the pics. I do not have time to take and post pics right now but if you wish I can forward them to you at a later time. By going off of all the imperfections in your pics, it certainly appears to be a kit rifle. However, it might matter not. Mine is very accurate and I'm happy with it. The only issues I had on mine was the barrel wedges alignment.

No need to take pics. I appreciate your looking over mine.
 
95gr 3F Swiss, pre-Covid CCI Magnum #11 cap… Kept the barrel elevated a tad. Was not expecting much…
Primary trigger “might” have 2.5# pull. I left the rear trigger alone, did not want a sneeze to set it off. Aimed at a black walnut across the yard, maybe 60’ away. Instant firing, every bit as fast as a modern centerfire. No more recoil than a Mossberg 46B(b) .22 from 1947-49. The “projectile”, a few cleaning patches, shot across the yard pretty as can be.

My wife’s cats are hiding. My hog dogs yiped and quit fighting each other, and they are in a different yard. The cross the street neighbor turned off his stereo. To say I’m happy is an understatement.
