Thank you, I was suspect of the stampings, and was pretty sure with all the WW-2 left overs that the military wasn't buying much in those days. I don't have a lot in it, So I will just enjoy it, for what it is. I took it to the range today, along with a Auto-5 light 12 I also picked up this weekend. Both shot well, and the old slam fire is lightning fast...I was just as fast with it, as with the Browning. I thought that the barrel had been cut down, as I had read the the 820B was only offered in 28" barrel. Thanks for the input, it's appreciated.
