DP Stock Marks Query

[No4Mk1(T)]

Most enlightening Ed thank you for the link. I had assumed from their web sight that the receivers being used were un-used surplus. I think I’d still be interested in having one if they were available here in Canada.
I completely agree on the topic of Mr. Laidler’s comments regarding the DP and ZF markings. Thanks for setting me straight Ed and educating the ignorant Peter.

During the Reagan years as President here in the U.S. we went through “deregulation” this simply means the rich got richer and the little guy at the bottom got the shaft. Health and safety regulations moved backwards and as an example our American Boiled linseed oil is toxic and your Canadian BLO is not.

The laws here in the U.S. are on the side of the manufactures and company profits come before our individual safety.

I wouldn’t touch one of those welded receivers on those Gibbs 03-A4 for love or money, my brother-in-law had a Santa Fe 03 remanufactured Springfield receiver and had nothing but problems with it. Caveat emptor
