Rick,

Thanks as always you are a wealth of information.

Wish the stock markings were clearer but they are what they are. Stamp does not look like an RLB but Rifle looks almost unfired with the exception of a few bullet trails in the remaining cosmolineicon still on the receiver intrenals. ME - 0 TE - 1, bore bright and no erosion.


Rifle came from a WWII vet's safe in NE Oklahoma, said he had it since the war only shot it a few times.

Still curious where the Z & the Y came from. All my research has not turned up an origin, and the letters do not make up any part of the vets name.

Thanks again for the information.
