Round cartridge counter window went out about 1909 at about serial number 90,000. 250-3000 wasn't introduced until 1914 about serial number 146500 or so. Another "never say never", a factory conversion or a Bubba? We need more info. This would also be another receiver heat treating question that was covered in another current post. David
