[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 1666406, member: 13284"] I picked up the rifle in late July from Harry at the Canadian Valley (Banner Rd) range. It is a 5.88 serial number which I believe makes it a mid to late 1955 production. The barrel is 5/55 dated. It's tough to find any detailed info on the late post war serial numbers and some of it is conflicting so I'm not sure if the barrel is original. The MW gauges at a 1 and the TE was around 1.5 if I remember correctly. The bolt and op rod are HRA from the same time period, and there are a couple small internal parts that are not correct as well. I picked up the HRA GI stock set from Harry as well along with an SA stock set that would be correct for my rifle. I liked the tiger striping better so I installed the HRA. The rifle came with a birch stock originally. [/QUOTE]
