    Your post says the barrel date is 3-45. Your G.B. ad says 9-45.
    I don't think there were any 9-45 barrels.

    It seems every RRAD etched receiver that I have inspected was etched before parkerizing. Whereas all LEAD and SA etching was done after parkerizing.

    A Muzzle Wear reading is more important than a Throat Erosion reading, however, readings mean nothing if the gun shoots well. How does it shoot?
