RRAD marked TRW M14 receiver

[Promo]

First time I've seen such a marking on a M14 rifle, so thought I'd share some pictures of a receiver of mine in here too. It is a TRW made M14 rifle with a 7 digit serial 1.3XX.XX6, for the picture I removed the middle digits digitally. I've been told that RRAD can be found on Garand receivers and that it means a rebuild/repair by Red River Army Depot in June 1974 (6-74).

Don't worry, gun laws in Europe are opposite from the ones in the US with in Europe the barrels and bolts being the "gun parts", so all legal with owning a receiver here. Have considered somewhen building a rifle myself based on this receiver, we'll see if I can source the missing parts.
