Thanks guys, certainly looks like a "B" stock.
With a different action perhaps?

Just found this with no photo.
Sounds more like mine.
I'll try to find a photo

Model 50A Variant 2- similar to Model 50 Standard, except hooded front sight with four posts on rotating star, click adj. rear sight with four-notch insert, extra dovetail on rear of receiver.

The one your describing is the first type 50B with the rotating foresight and the click adj. rear sight with four-notch insert,and extra dovetail on rear of receiver which is the one i have.
The second type has the standard hooded foresight and rearsight as fitted to the standard Model 50 rifle Which looks like the one you have.

Ok fella`s, Here if my host is willing, are some more photos.
(a)The point made about the foresight - There are only two elements in the foresight. A post and a ring. They can be flipped only through 90 deg.
(b) The rearsight has no interchangeable elements. It is marked "Geco"
(c) The cocking lever pivot pin is also the retaining pin for the fore end fixing (no screws)
(d) Please note the hexagon on the spring cap at the back of the receiver?
(e) What about the triggerguard?

And thank you for your input so far.
If you are visiting the Phoenix meeting at Bisley and would care to examine it please pm me for a meet.
