Serial #3729

3 posts in this topic

Bob, could you check information on 3729, I just acquired. Shows inport mark IA Co. SAC CA. and external corrosion. Even bolt is corroded on exposed area. Looks like salt attack and it has the tightly attached dirt deposits which you have to mechanically remove. Think I can save it. Stock was cracked through at front stock screw and had a military style brass pin across break. Wish these guns could talk!

Rifle 3729: receiver from Cranston Arms to JAMCO 12/15/41, completed rifle transfered to NPC 12/16/41. No stock number. Barrel 2237E; hammer block 4113; hammer 5775; bolt 3038; locking cam 1781; firing pin 4825; extractor 2861; magazine A177. (?) I wonder if someone left off a digit in the magazine number. . .

Thanks, Bob. It has the correct bolt, locking cam, extractor and firing pin. Other items are mismatched. The bolt number (3038) was stamped on right side of stock in 5/16" numbers. #18 was on left side in 3/4" numbers. First time I have seen a bolt number on wood.
