It was not manufactured in Oct 1940. this rifle has been around for quite awhile, barrel is D28286 while other barrels from the same serial range are all D-28286, which really means nothing. the heat lot code is J-16-A. I had a friend take very detailed photos back in the 90's

Since the gas cylinder is made of stainless steel, what does the auction description mean when it says: "The complete gas cylinder assembly has browned out." (?)
