EAL Type Longbranch Experts Weigh In

[Surpmil]

That's not an EAL body. It could possibly be assembled at LB by a factory worker and taken home or by someone in the civvie world from surplus parts. Interesting, especially with a 1941 body. Lots of parts were sold at the auction in the 1970's so it's anyone's guess.

I think you're right on the money. Some learner screwed up the grinding of the charger bridge and the action went in the spares box. No serial number and original finish seals it IMHO.

Whatyadoin' with that Ross by the way?
