IBM Hack saw cuts and P proof questions ??
Hopefully those of you better informed about IBM's can help me out.
I see both dated and NO date IBM barrels with and without the hack saw cut behind the rear sight blade.
Does anyone know why this is?
Also what would be the proper size and style P proof stamp marked on a IBM barrel used by IBM?
Would it be the Serif P about 3/32nds" tall?
I don't own all the CC back newsletters.
Does anyone know where there maybe a listing of P proof markings used by the makers?
Showing size and style?
Appreciate any help,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
I went through some back issues and found a couple of things.
"CC 12-2" addresses the "milled" cut behind the sight.
IBM always used the "I" cut key slot and the saw cut was added around SN#3,900,00. Winchester also made this change. No reason was given in this issue.
The barrel proof is mentioned in "CC 191-5".
3/32" serif "P" is correct.
Regards,
Denny

Might want to do some further reading. NL# 110 would be a good start.

Excuse me if I'm late to reply.
It's hard to set at the PC right now.
I was leading in 2 horses last night when a trespassing hunters shot rang out just at dark. It spooked a already high strung Thoroughbred, as he turned I took a HELL of a kick to the right side of my chest.
I get 3 broken ribs out of the deal.........hunter gets away.Wife spends nearly 3 hrs catching Big Will and his Quarter horse buddy.

Two IBM proof marks, first one is on a dated IBM barrel, second on is on an undated IBM barrel. Neither have serifs.

Denny,
Marcus was kind enough to share a album with me.
I've seen the cut on IBM barrels in the 3,653,xxx range.
Thx,

Charlie, you lead an interesting life.
May I recommend that you just sit for a day or so? Your fellow Gurus will still be here ready to help when you feel up to sitting at the desk again....
Just a thought,
Phil
