Older barrel w/no serial number
« on: March 25, 2011, 08:19:55 AM »
Simply put, were older HR's fitted without scribing the last three digits of its mated receiver onto the barrel tang?

Depends on how old, my old 1900 12ga and Topper 158 30-30 aren't,  but even some modern underlugs don't get marked, I've got at least one that isn't, bad day for someone at the factory I guess.  :-X

Guess I shoulda added the receiver is an "NC" serial number...1988 vintage.  The 223 barrel without a number on the underlug coulda come from any date before last year. 

I guess there is no way (now) to tell if the barrel and receiver were an original "match" except to say they sure shoot well together today.
