That's what my first rifle was, Ithaca single shot lever. I ran my first trap line carrying it too.

That would make a kid a good little starter rifle Bowyer, nice job.

I believe the M49 was the single shot and the rifle you have is the repeater M72, a very well made firearm. Nice job on the restoration.

It's a model 49 R.
From my research and small amount of data to be found, my guess is that there weren't very many produced. Not calling it rare just not common.
