I’m the current owner of serial 1626. What can you tell me about it?

Hi algaskin31:

And welcome to the forum.

The following information is provided from the production logs:

Receiver SN 1626, Received From: Cranston Arms, Date Received 11/20/1941, Stock No. none, Barrel No. 0370E, Hammer Block No. 1783, Hammer No. 2214, Bolt No.  2554, Locking Cam No. 1414, Firing Pin No. 5059,  Extractor No. 1889,  Magazine No. 5375, Disposition Date 11/22/1941, Transferred to J.A. Inc - N.P.C

Without proper and reliable provenance, be very careful about claims of both ownership and usage.

Also, if you would like forum members to comment about the condition of your rifle, please post high definition, quality photos showing all rifle views, and any suspected defects. Generally, photos taken with cell phones or quality cameras produce large files. If you crop the photos to the rifle in general, and scale the photos so the size is less than 2MB, uploading should work well, and the resulting photos will give reviewers enough detail to comment.

Thank you for the info. I’ll get some better pics when this rain clears out and I can get some really good lighting.

Welcome to the forum and a nice early rifle! Just a thought... In a way we don't really own these pieces of history...we are merely their caretakers.
