Rifle identification help

[msellers]

Guys, a friend of mine has this in his collection. Is approximately a 40 cal currently, not sure if it was altered any during its life. Am curious what you all can help identify about it, and any possible ideas on maker or at least narrow down region. I can ask for better photos of anything you think would help in doing this.

Thanks,
Mike

Edit: trying to figure out what is going on with the photos. 
Uploaded like normal. Sorry for this incident and inconvenience.

Ok trying this again. Deleted all photos. Got them resent, and scanned for anything. So hopefully with multiple different scans run, everything is good this time. Have rebooted and run 3 different antivirus scans and removers to make sure I wasn't putting problem photos out here. Everything is clean as far as I can find.
