Looking at one of these, has had some parts swapped obviously (bolt handle is aftermarket and mag is ruger factory). Any identifying marks on the trigger group, bolt, etc that would confirm that the parts are MR factory?

  Those are nothing but a Ruger 10/22 clone. All of the parts are interchangable with the Ruger 10/22 action. They are where Ruger got the idea for the 10/22 based "CHARGER" pistol.
  
  Lots of those have an aftermarket charging handle, to add weight to the bolt assembly. Especially the versions in 17M2 chambering. I believe that the trigger groups were made by an outsourced vender for MR. Most likely Volquartsen.

  EDIT 1
  
  The newer 10/22's these days have polymer trigger group housings. All of the aftermarket ones from JARD, Volquartsen, Timney, and Power Custom, are all CNC machined Aluminum. If it is polymer, it can also have a Timney drop in group that fits in the trigger group housing, and replaces just the trigger, sear, trigger, and disconnector, but uses everyting else.

  I realize that. I'm concerned though that the PO may have gone to wally and bought a 10/22 and replaced trigger group, etc. keeping the "target grade" stuff and leaving the cheap stuff in the gun for sale...
