SA 990718 has a SA 1-18 bbl date which I don't believe to be correct from the preponderance of data, but SA 936682 has a SA 7-18 bbl, which I believe is correct. SA 928236 has a barrel date of SA 7-18, which also seems to be correct. I have other rifles above these serial numbers but I don't have their barrel dates.

SA 936682 has a shallow thumb groove carved into the stock which makes the offset scope shooting more comfortable, but which has not one single stamp, proof, or inspector's mark on the entire stock. It and its immediate SN neighbors were probably some of the last M1913 rifles sent to Franceicon. It is also the highest serial number M1913 equipped rifle I have listed with what appears to be its matching barrel. If anyone has a higher serial number with a correctly dated barrel, I would like to have the data, please (zevron@intrstar.net).

I might mention that a significant number of the rifles I have listed are observed/owned rifles not listed in SRS. I sincerely thank those who have contributed to the database.

Based on the data I possess, I agree with JB.

I might also pose two questions:
1. Has anyone ever seen a M1908 rifle that has been plugged?
2. If not, what happened to those rifles?
