RCS,
Not sure yet. I have a handful of early receivers that would have had this housing originally. I'll pick one down the road and try my best to get it together. Very likely, almost definitely gonna be a direct conversion, too.
Thant's a beautiful one you have there!!Welcome to the Addiction!

The -2 side-marked hammers fascinate me. Interesting that they were used in the low 40K range.
In referencing Mr. Pyle's book, serial number 31179 is reported to have a -1 hammer, while serial number 38493 is reported to have a -2 face-marked (aka top marked) hammer. Would late 30K and early 40K rifles have a mix of -2 hammers? Also, what about the -1 SA hammer? Where does that fall.....even tighter range??Welcome to the Addiction!

Also. Parts were tossed in a bin and assembly workers putting certain assemblies together pulled parts from these bins. They didn't wait until they were out of parts before calling for more. New parts with new revision number were tossed onto old parts It could have been 5, 10, 20k rifle before the workers got down to the old , original parts. They surely didn't throw away old parts for new. Not unless there was a defect. It still goes on today. I have seen a lot of this at the various auto Plants I have worked in as an outside electrical contractor
