Who is R.M. Smith, III

...as many guns for yourself as you want. As long as you don't sell them , you don't HAVE to mark them , but it is a good idea just for proof it's yours , if nothing else. If , years later , you decide to sell it , it will need to be marked , and it's easier to do while your putting it together and finishing it. You CAN NOT make a gun for someone else unless you have a licence and are in the biz. You CAN NOT make a full auto unles you have the licence to do so. Building it yourself still means you are limited to what would be legal to walk into a store and buy today ( if it was still being made ). You can go over to 1919a4.com: Beltfed Fun for 1919 Enthusiasts - 1919a4.com Portal to read up on this. Those guys make semis all the time.

Contact Elmer Ballance in Texas. He is the original owner of Springfield Armory Inc. and would likely know about that rifle.

Don't quote this either but I think that 7.62mm on the heel would make it a later SA INC receiver.(last 5 years) I have owned a few from 3,000 up to 80,000 none of them had that.
