Singer,

Seems in my “drunk in Aruba” post, I over estimated the length TK used assembly numbers. TK used assembly numbers on all long rifles and continued using assembly numbers for the first 40,000 rifles of their series 30 short rifle production. After 40k, the last three should match the receiver.

Hope this helps.
