The R on the early recoil Rock-Ola plates are on the face of the plate just above the recoil screw . At least that is were they are on the 2 that I have . Nice looking receiver by the way !

Early type 1 spring tube. You will have to fine a tube with a tab.

Rockola made a spring tube ?

Here are all the pictures I got so . Asking $1700 for it. If original would that be considered a steal or going rate ? farAttachment 52292Attachment 52293Attachment 52294Attachment 52295Attachment 52296

Philly,
Do you have any concerns about the rear flip sight?

Rock-Ola did make spring tub carbines but I was mistaken, this one does not appear to be a spring tub with a tab. 1668 is close to the cutoff between type 1 spring tub receivers and type 2 spring tub receivers. From your new pictures there does not appear to be the second cutout for the tab. Spring tub Rock-Olas are very collectable.
