    Lunch Bucket Special

    here is a true lunch bucket special, gun was made by Saginaw worker and obvious take home of unmarked or unproofed parts --- note no hardness test of receiver, extra shims made for either barrel or receiver milling errors, note the cross threaded gas cylinder, note the super Q-RMC stock -it all adds up to what would have been easy to take home. ironically had IP firing pin, U bolt, and couple other oddities-some of these parts were transferred to Saginaw. It was cool gun. Picasa Web Albums - Carbine - lunch bucket ...

    What sets this carbine apart from one that has had the name and serial number ground off is the lack of proofs on the receiver and bolt.

    no P on barrel

    barrel was not proofed either--I totally missed the bolt not being punchmarked--you got the "eye" Brian!

    Do you think it's possible that whoever took the parts did a half hearted job of grinding off the serial number and maker to hide the evidence of a missing receiver?
