The A. H. Fox marked receiver is very nice to see
My Finnish Family
My latest acquisition- a New England Westinghouse M91 arrived last night, so I decided I should take a family photo!

Top to bottom are the M91, a SAKO M39, a Finnish Guard M28, and an M28/30. I have an M91/30 arriving next week.
Here’s the NEW:

It’s got a fair amount of putting underneath the stock line, but that’s not surprising on a 108 year old rifle. It has a few mismatched parts but that’s just part of it’s history.

Upon closer inspection, the rear tang of the receiver has a <-M mark -- which @Homer2 has identified as an NEW Meriden plant mark. So did Meriden make the receiver?

Yes the M is for Meriden, as seen on the barrel of your example as well. I am aware of some controversy to the origin of the “A.H. FOX” marking. I’m not sure to what extent the different factories/subcontractors played in assembly of the rifles, so I can’t tell you more than that. But irregardless the marking is nice to see
