SA manufactured barrel, drawing number, month and year of production and proofed.
Thank for the information
The MD 49 is the "heat lot" or batch code of the steel used. SA kept track of this datum on the key parts (receiver, bolt, barrel) so all parts made from that batch could be identified if a problem developed later. The F6535448 is the "drawing number" or blueprint. Minus the size letter, the number also became the unique part identifier for barrels.
