I think the tang length on your rifle should be considered as the short type.  Long tang rifles changed over to short tang rifle in mid-year of 1939, with the serial number range of 16646 to 16790.

In looking in my book, the serial date puts it at a 1953 mfg.

You are correct, it is a short tang. I have no earthly idea why I typed long! Oh well it has been sold locally anyway! Thanks for catching that!

Rifle and ammo sold locally!
