The heat lot number is definitely B3A. Also, the drawing number is D 28281; there is no revision number. Additionally, it has the square op rod cut and does not have the 7th round repair.
Thanks...

Does anyone know the time frame for an M1 receiver with a heat lot of B3A?
Karl,
See my email.

Attached are a few pictures of our Vets Appreciation Day event held yesterday. After a week of rain we had perfect weather with lots of sunshine and temperatures in the upper 70s. Attendees included...
I had a question about the barrel date on my 03A4. It is a 2 groove Remington dated 8-43. I had posted a question about barrel dates vs. serial numbers a while ago and the consensus was that it is a...
Here are a couple of pictures of the 03A4 I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Its very close to the last of the first serial number group....
Here are a couple of pictures of my 6-51 HRA barrel. As you can see it has a blued finish and there is no cut out for the lower band pin.
Ramboueille, You seemed to have taken offense at my...
I have a 6-51 HRA barrel that I believe is the earliest HRA barrel. It may well be a pre-production barrel as it is blued and doesn't have the lower band pin cut out. It was taken from a late HRA...
Jim,
Sent off another email. If that doesn't work I'll give them a call.
It seems like there's always a lot to learn. I've read some of the general info on A4s, but this article seems to be a good...
Thanks all for the responses.
I did email the Remington Society of America to try to obtain a copy of "Snarls, Snafus and Snipers - The story behind the M1903A4 Sniper Rifle" by William Hansen;...
Is there a serial number vs. barrel date list for 0A4s? I just purchased a late first serial number block rifle (34268xx). It has an RA 8-43 2 groove barrel with the "P" on the bottom just back of...
For any veterans and their families in the mid-Maryland area we are having our Fourth Annual Veterans Appreciation Day on Saturday, May 30th, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Izaak Walton League of...
As I mentioned I never took it out of the stock until I had Krieger rebarrel it, and there never seemed to be a bedding problem. Toward the end of the first barrel's life it still consistently shot...
John,
What you say may largely be true, but it is also a personal choice. I bought a Springfield Supermatch back in the 90s and got my High Master card in about 2 years. The M1A (to me) is...
No shot group photo, but I am reminded of the time I was practicing years ago. A fly landed on my target next to one of the sighter bulls. I told my good friend and shooting buddy to watch my target....
That name does ring a bell but I don't think that I would have come up with it myself. Thanks.
I got the stock for Christmas and to be honest I'm not really sure (i.e., remember) who made the blank. Just for general information the scope is a 20x Unertl that I ordered in Columbus at one of the...
Here's the 52D that I got back in the mid-60s. It's a fairly early gun (107xxx) that I got to replace the 69A that I had been shooting. I bedded it and did the final fitting of the stock (I still...
I have 75xxx and have shot 6 or 7 thousands rounds without a hitch.
I visited the North Store yesterday and picked up a nice NPM. It came with a very clean, unblemished Underwood WWII stock. I know that the GHD stands for Brig. General Guy H. Drewry and the UEP for...
I'm afraid that the barreled receivers weren't too hot. Nearly everyone of them had rust and pitting. While I didn't look through a lot of barrels the ones I did look through were pretty bad. Also,...
A friend, my son, and I drove up to the North Store from Maryland Tuesday, stayed overnight, and were at the store around 8:30am on Wednesday. I was quite surprised to see 25 cars in the lot when we...
Just thought I'd see how posting a picture came out. This is an interesting 5.7 that I got at the North Store last summer.

Here's hoping that the new site is as successful as the former. I've enjoyed looking and posting for years. Good luck to all.
Also, I'm looking forward to a trip to the North Store on Wednesday....
