That's what I wanted to hear on the stock. I was hoping there was some overlap and that some ovals were used
prior to s/n 1100000.

How about the bullnose/non-bullnose handguards. Do you have any data about when they were used/not-used?

Thanks for the specific details. This is exactly the data I'm looking for.

The Large boxed WRA over GHD was used to ~ 1,067,649.
Un-boxed WRA over GHD came in around 1,055,513.

So there was some over lap of both stocks and stamps.

For a Hand guard, You could use a Type 1. Deep sighting groove, Un-marked or with a W. Winchester handguards are found with a particular milling style underneath.
The routered circles usually show the last cut as being on the outside edge.
This is what I've noticed anyway.
