Most NRA sales rifles ended at S/N 624xxx. Most rifle sales after that serial range were to military officers and other individuals so qualified. Your rifle was likely sold to a military officer.

Hope this helps.

Please post or e-mail the barrel date and inspection stamp. Thanks!

I doubt the SA NHS would have the sales records. Those have not yet been found.
