is there a reason you think March/April 44 is when it was made?

I used fellow CCCF member Jack P's (Algorithm) Spread Sheet PDF put together from all know information on known serial numbered Carbines.
I clicked on the closest Rock Ola serial number to yours that had a date.
Be sure to read the Spread Sheet on how the Data is collected.

Thank you Charlie, that's some really useful information. There's a carbine 147 numbers before mine. 4,585,696 mine is 4,585,843. I'll try to get the rear sight cleaner so I can take better pictures with my newfound knowledge of my camera.

Tried again with the camera steadied. Do you have the link so I can copy Data sheets again? I moved back to Wyoming since I bought the Winchester and lost the extras I had.

The cameras usually have a "Super Macro" setting that you get by just holding down the Macro button. It can be 4-5" from the object but anything done free hand and not blurry is pure luck. Most of these cameras are returned because they are just too complicated to use. The Cannon manuals are books.

I was looking......again, at the rear sight, I got down to seeing minute striations from machining I guess. no letters, but I was also looking at the barrel band. Is that a faint "R"?
