    Saganaw SG bring back

    I never thought I would ever find one of these......but I honestly think this one's for real. SN is 3290309 and has all the correct parts from what I can glean out of War Baby. The front and rear sights have never been removed and the Rock Ola recoil plate and receiver have a exact matching wear pattern in the left side of the catch. The muzzle gauges a tad over one. The owner painted a letter A on the pistol grip and filed down the 200 yard flip into a V. The stock and handguard match and are both RSG marked with correct cartouches......the sling well is also marked 20F with a OC flaming bomb. Your thoughts appreciated as always. Regards, Rick.

    326xxxx has the OC flaming bomb too. Both rifles also have the bomb on the bolt under the SG on the lug and in the slingwell. At some point in the 3d SN range the bomb on the barrel went away......not sure about the bolt and slingwell. Regards, Rick.

    I have a 3.25 Saginaw SG that has the same flaming bomb on the barrel. Mine is more of a half strike at best though. Does your SG have a dogleg hammer and if so, what marking does it have on it? If I remember right too (no reference book with me) it would have had an umarked type 2 safety in it. It's a very nice gun as it is pictured BTW.

    Looks great like I said. The hammer appears straight (I think). That would be the only issue for what I see.

    The type 3 hammer could be correct. It's within about 20,000 of the start of the type 3 hammer listed by Riesch. Real nice carbine anyway you look at it.
