Local gun show this weekend. Ran across a fairly clean mark I. Nice bore with 1919 date. The SN was close to my mark I, which was a confirmed 1919 manufacture. It had the correct trigger and cut off. My question is this... The receiver was parkerized with a grayish color. The bottom metal appeared to be a dark blue ( not sure on this one). The hand guard looked like a WWII replacement and the rear sight knobs were not dished out. It was missing an extractor and the bolt was straight with SN engraved on it. Talked the guy down to 700, but I had too many questions and didn't want to tie up the money on it. I'm sorry if the answer is in brophys book, but I don't own a copy yet. (Christmas list). It looked like it had been rebuild or something or I'm I wrong!
