Anchor mark on JSAR parts?

[Bob Lamoreaux 0]

Hope I'm not going completely senile, but I seem to remember that an anchor mark was stamped on either the barrel bushing (locking bushing) or on the barrel of JSARs. I believe that there was a question as to the menaing of the mark or which subcontractor use it.

In reading Tracy Hill's book on the Thompson Submachine Gun, it is noted that Remington Arms Co. used the anchor as a mark on TSMG parts that were made under subcontract.

Just throwing this one out there for comments!

Well, I guess I AM --- going senile! It isn't an anchor mark that raises the question, it is the sword mark! Sorry about that mistake! However, sometimes one finds arcane but useful info in books or publications about other weapons that shed light on questions such as that raised about the sword marking. Keep reading, guys!

Sorry about my confusion!

They also used the anchor mark on some 513T .22's
