    "...the replacement bolt is the correct one with..." However, that does not mean the headspace is safe. Do not shoot it until you have or had it checked.
    Most of the wee, tiny, what looks like squiggly stamps with crowns are proof or acceptance marks. No BNP stamps means it was never sold through Englandicon.
    Sadly the best markings sites are gone. This isn't too bad though.

    Does anyone know what the FB 106 on top and bottom of the Barrel means? I know there is a date stamped on the left side of the barrel of 1940. Could that just be the date it was inspected and reissued? Some say its a new barrel date, but the serial number A 836 on the receiver and barrel look identical. Same font, and same size numbers. I'm just thinking FB 106 might just mean Factory Barrel, and the inspectors number. I can't find anything on what it may mean.
