Thank you sir.

I have a special spot in my heart for those early guns. The numbers under 1 million...

[SA M1Dom]

I feel the same way about the ones under 1 mil. It took me along time to get my hands one. This was a stripped receiver when i got it so it was more gratifying building it up.

This was a stripped receiver

I was lucky, mine was a LL but I found it in a gun shop in my town in 1976. First one I had actually had hands on. 328219 SA...all correct. Was that ever a lucky grab...since then I've had lots of low numbers, but none in the shape of my first.

Nice looking rifles

[SA M1Dom]

That is nice looking. I do prefer the manganese park but there is something to be said about that grey/greenish finish you see a lot on the low numbers.

Attachment 50732Attachment 50733Attachment 50734 I'm lucky...I had the chance to refinish it before I knew much about them. Thought about it but didn't. I knew there was something different, even at age 18 or so. Just had to wait for the internet to find out what it was...here's a few more of it...
