Rdpin is absolutely correct about the line-out requiring positive legibility of the original receiver maker's name. Rich, your eyesight is better than mine.I couldn't read any of the letters but I didn't blow the photo way up either. Thanks for the thread.Ĭlick to expand.I thought the same about the cast receiver.USGI are milled. "threaded brass stock." This was used to fix a crack in the stock and the grip area would have been a prime target for that kind of work.Īgain, see if you have a friend or family member with a decent digital camara and provide us with as many pictures of the rifle as possible: The stock (all areas from the grip to the butt plate on both sides) as well as the butt plate itself., the receiver the barrel, the slide (outside and inside), the front sight, and the barrel/receiver with the slide and stock removed. The only primary contractor who was known to use cherry wood on a limited number of it's carbines was Rock-Ola, and they made their own stocks. Variations in the density of the would would result in different shades. They were soaked in vats of raw linseed oil then left to dry. The sanding and refinishing may be the reason that the stock looks like cherry wood, however, there are many variations in color for the walnut stocks that were standard use. I do know that AA (Augusta Arsenal) had an inspector who's mark was a Z and the 47 is likely the year of the work. The "Z" on the bottom of the grip is probibly the initial of the inspector at the arsenal that did the work. This may be due to the rifle having been sanded and refinished, which may also remove the rebuild marks from various Ordnance depots which may have conducted the rebuild. Although, some manufacturers didn't stamp cartouches on the right side of the rear portion of the stock, it allways makes me nervous when I don't see the stamp with the Primary contractor's and general government inspector for the area initials on the stock along with the makers assigned crossed cannons cartouche. I am still interested if there are any markings on the underside of the handguard. First, If "S- HB" is stamped in the sling well, then the stock was made by "Hillerich & Bradely" of Louisville, Ky for Standard Products.
