When Springfield Sporters imported huge batches of rifles from India and the far east they pop riveted the numbered aluminum band around the trigger guard bow. I don't know why as the bands are removable and therefore not the book serial number for the Feds. It may have been book keeping on the shipping side and a later book generated with cross index of band and serial numbers. I never thought to ask when I was there.
