10.34 base spacing location

I am considering D&Ting my new to me (SN 7670B) 15.6lb 30inch for a scope (7.2" spacing would put the front base right on the "Shiloh" stamp). Is there a drawing for the factory hole locations from the front of the action?
Thank you,
Charles

You want the rear as far back as you can due to your eye relief. I'm sorry, but it's gonna hit the stamp.

I have the 7.2 spacing (MVA B5 scope) and the mounts don't cover any markings, fwiw.

Then again, I had it d&t when built, maybe the stamps were moved to accommodate?
