Love to know what number that one is...300,000 maybe? Just under that?
Probably a lot higher... The Notebook shows 405,000 completed at SA by February 4th and an order for 100K started two days before:
February 2, 1942 XO-777-1 Started Rifles in order 100,000
February 4, 1942 XO-3570-4 Finished TOTAL RIFLES 405,625
Left handed? Cute as a button and engaged. I hope her beau made it.

That's dugout Doug...
Of course it would be. I was one year out of whack with memory of my own LL 328219 SA barrel date... I was thinking mine was made in '42. Long time since I saw that rifle.Quote:
