craigsterThe # often stated is 1532878. There are highers numbers out there. Brophy had in his collection #1534854, and a record of #1547989 that went to the DCM. The reported last # (1532878) was probably the last rifle assembled on the last day of scheduled production. Higher #'s were probably assembled from left over receivers and parts after production ceased.

Dall85Thanks Craigster! That comes much closer to the number I had in mind. Now it is time to collect my beer!
