Surely you can put your mind to doing something productive.
Adjusting trigger pulls, perhaps?
You can only hug a dog so many times before the neighbours start getting the wrong idea.

De lumbered and found a few more markings.
Any comments, much appreciated!

The dreaded pipe wrench scars! But then refinished later at Long Branch apparently. That is a bit odd to say the least. So is the "DP" stamp. A barrel salvaged from something else? I think I see a thin steel shim/washer between the barrel and the receiver which might indicate why the barrel was DP'd. Perhaps if a barrel was found to be too short on the rear face of the Nock's form to breech up properly it was unceremoniously wrenched off without the dignity of proper wrench and vise. They may have kept those for the work of assembly, rather than disassembling rejects. The cartouches are an early inspection mark, so this barrel probably reflects an early employee learning curve or machine set up error/experiment. The shoulder or collar ground off the guard screw boss was probably done later as a "target tuning" modification. I've seen that on a few ex-target rifles.
I didn't know they were that thrifty at Long Branch.
Hey Surp,
There was a bit of washer 'grind' at the barrel meeting the receiver. It was the 'ring sleeve' that sets the top and bottom lumber in the correct position at the receiver.
Thanks for the explanations, it seems, as been said, that there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason in its construction, and was put together at the end of the war out of what was at hand perhaps... As to it's function, I know it was used briefly and sporadically, but I would be very surprised if it ever went back to LB after it left in '45, so not sure as to the 'target turning'.. I should be able to get that info shortly, so I will confirm that hypothesis when I 'm able!
