RIA Barrel Date Question?

[Jim Tarleton]

My parkerized RIA 4-22 barrel has a steel lot code of C131. No other markings but a "P". I use it to prop open my door. It works well .

"R.I.A./4-22" and "R.I.A./5-22" ? You now have one of each?

I already have an "R.I.A./5-22" in my data base credited to you.

I have a RIA 5-22 with a small P under the date stamp the receiver is RIA 330385 this was a barreled receiver from the last CMP offering. If you are interested in the seel lot code I can get that for you as well.

Thanks for your kind offer!

I would like to have the steel lot code, but only if it's convenient to do so. The steel lot code should be stamped atop the barrel underneath the handguard. Simply removing the handguard should expose it.

Thanks!

My barrel is also stamped C131. Hope this helps. I also have a straight handled bolt with a C on the bottom of the safety lug and a 1 and punch on the handle. I did not see this marking in your list of bolts. I got it from GB so I have no idea what SN rifle it would have been on.

I must have given you the wrong month. It is a RIA 4-22, STL C131, with the STL stamped on top of the barrel 6" in front of the RSFB. I am looking at it as I type this.
