Getting old ain't for sissies! Between seeing it on the log and typing it in the post the 5 turned into a 9. Thanks for catching that Gene! SN146955 is the correct number. And based on what Gene says about the the 1000 that were completed and sold to the hardware company, his estimate of 1914 or 15 is as good as any.
coondawg, don't lose track of the magazine. If you do, a replacement is a little spendy. Yours is a nice looking rifle.
Gene, I've added your new number to the log, thanks!
