seen this on GB, sights don't look like aftermarket and it doesn't appear the barrel band was removed. Stock checkering isn't non prefix. so any ideas??

Hard to say without a serial number and much better pictures (I looked at it too, but moved on quickly with 4 poor, far-away pictures and no information).
Best case scenario: a non-prefix BBS that has been restocked with post-1976 wood.

Saw one of these in Ohio at a gun show, looked like the real deal. Most likely a special order. I think that was a 130 gun. Maybe this is the same one.

Two possibilities then:
1. Someone had a non-prefix BBS barrel and put it on this early '80's rifle, or
2. Someone fabricated it by adding the 1S front sight and rib.

1 too many digits in SN. Probably just Sights added to a 1B.
