Since it is a LH action/LH stock model with side safety it can't be a 1407.
Given the bolt and trigger and stock, I'm going to guess 1607, a transition model between 1407 and 1807, usually with an X suffix in the serial number. The 1807 stocks I've seen have an adjustable cheekpiece; I don't know if 1807 stocks ever came without an adjustable cheekpiece.
Or it could simply be an 1807 in a modified 1407 stock with LH bolt cutout. Need pictures of the trigger and both sides of the stock. Does the serial number have an X?...Tom
Take the bolt apart and post a picture of all the pieces. I am curious as to what firing pin you have in there. The x series rifles usually had the 5071 trigger, which mainly has a different sear than the 5018 to work with the different pin.

The 5018 trigger and 1807 bolt is what makes an X rifle rare. A picture of the bolt would be interesting but as said, it's likely an 1807 bolt given the trigger.
Lee, The X makes it a 1607, or transition rifle. I suspect you missed that in his reply.
Being a transition rifle, as I understand, there is no set standard for 1607 as 1607 doesn't officially exist. Let's call it a late transition rifle?
As stated, the stock is also a transition stock. The 1807 stock has an adjustable cheekpiece and butt plate. That stock is essentially what was for a RH action, 1407 stock for a LH shooter (as there were no LH Match actions), albeit now with a LH bolt cutout. The only LH actioned 1607 I've seen.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it until Tim say's otherwise!...Tom
Sure, but the stock is also pre-1807, the only one I've seen like that. It's a 1407 stock with a LH bolt cutout.
Where did you get 1980?...Tom
No cut out in bottom of boltOk I miss read his post on RA he said purchased new in 1980 so it could be a 1979 (barrel date code should be HK), however the trigger is a 5018, but it could be a 5018 with the 5071 sear catch. only way to clear up what model this really is, and that is for him to post a picture of the bottom of the bolt.
