Some twenty years ago James McCollum sent me data from rifles that he found interesting at Anniston. Mac spent thirty seven years at Anniston and collected a lot of data during this time. Some of this data concerned early conversions on three and four digit rifles. I remember s/n 5777 was listed with a S-A-7-40 barrel and Paul found it a few years ago, still with the same barrel but with a chromed gas port. Any 1940 or early 1941 would appear correct for a conversion.
here is a sample of the data from Mac:
s/n 256 S-A-7-40 bbl, s/n 604 S-A-9-40 bbl, s/n 711 S-A-8-40 bbl s/n 756 S-A-10-40 bbl
I would use a 1940 barrel and re-worked gas trap stock

Do not know if they had the seventh round correction, we know some got through without the modification. A lot of the early S-A-6-40 dated barrels were used (I just found s/n 175 with a S-A-6-40 barrel in Mac's data, you could bet that stock was not changed if done early. On another source, I found s/n 404 with a S-A-7-40 barrel and no trap stock
