So did any of the mass production companies use Douglas barrels or is it likely custom made?

FOR SALE Hawken Half Stock Rifle. Reduced

Are there any barrel markings on your rifle? Looks like a Santa Fe Hawken from the late 70’s/ early 80’s. I believe they were produced by Uberti. The first models were distributed by Western Arms in 54cal.(actually 53 cal, using a 52cal LRB). I purchased a Santa Fe Hawken kit, later replacing the original walnut stock with maple. It’s a superb shooter!
.
I wouldn't call the Ithacas mass produced since they didn't produce that many but they came either as a kit or prebuilt with Douglas barrels and Cherry Corner lock, triggers, and othe parts.
Could someone tell me the reason for the hole opposite the snail, with the allen screw in it?
Some call it a cleanout screw, but it is just a plug for a thru hole from the manufacturing process. Has to do with the vent ole on the lock side is drilled.
…although, I haven’t seen one like that with a socket screw. I believe the original would have been slotted.
I wonder why they'd drill all the way through? Maybe to make the barrels ambidextrous from a rifle building point of view?
This is a lot of great information! Thanks. I never knew what this was, but I am totally convinced that it was either an Ithaca kit or Ithaca completed, but had the barrel markings on the upper flat removed.
Thanks. Judicious use of bone black, some red stain, and several coats of BLO gave me the look I was after. Also, many years of use also helped to create some patina….
This supposed to be a FOR SALE thread, not an open discussion.
Read post #1. Don't like it? Report it and don't look at it. 
This is Ultimately why many will not list items here resulting in higher prices on net auctions.
I didn't ask for any of the information, but I was happy to get it. Thanks everyone. I am still selling it, and not even boosting the price. Imagine that.
