    I already have an "R.I.A./5-22" in my data base credited to you.

    I must have given you the wrong month. It is a RIA 4-22, STL C131, with the STL stamped on top of the barrel 6" in front of the RSFB. I am looking at it as I type this.

    Should be mid to late 1918. I suspect John can narrow the range.

    Why in the name of neptune would someone make up an RIA barrel with a late 1920's date? Weird.

    "Logic" does not always explain one's actions.

    There's an internet auction right now which lists a Rock Island barrel dated 10-19. I didn't know that RIA made any 10-19 dated barrels. But I suppose they now have. They "get by with a little help from their friends."
