My take is that he is just offering some historical information in regards to SA Inc.

You both are correct. The SA. Inc. new numbering started at 7,000,000 after BATF instructions. I don't know how many were built starting with serial number 1 before that. It wasn't many.

And of course, knowing is half the battle... ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)
Although SA, Inc producing say just over 6 million receivers and then having to restart in the 7 mil range would certainly make perfect bureaucratic sense...
or would that be non-sense... LOL

Quick Update since this was last posted...
I was able to get to the range yesterday (finally, after many months) and I was able to put some 168gr Black Hills Gold ammunition down range. That stuff is loaded for an M1
, and is supposed to be very close to Hornady's M1 load, if not a duplicate. Both use Hornady's A-Max bullet.
Anyway, using a standard NRA Military Type 100 yard target, the rifle should easily hold the 10 ring with this load. I made no attempt to adjust the sights to actually put those rounds in the 10 ring as I was shooting for group, not a particular impact point.
The loose wingnut behind the trigger did his best to do his part... but since he's still not good at shooting rifles... I figure that there might have been an inch or so difference in point of aim from shot to shot. I doubt it'll do X ring groups, but certainly the 10 ring with the wingnut as loose as he is!
Thumbnail of the group. I placed bullets on the BHG group. The I measured, center to center, the furthest holes... that's what the calipers are showing. The other holes were function testing of my reloads.
