early rebuilds/conversions

[RCS]

The light colored 38K serial range came from Calif long time ago - SA GHS stock rebuilt

The other is in the 35K serial number range numbered SA SPG stock rebuilt

both have nice late 1941 barrels

Some additional photos of the 38K

My 38K looks really bright in the full sun but I wanted to enhance the wood figure. Old inside photo looks better

Here is the serial number of the second rebuild.

What exactly is or what constitutes an "early rebuild"? What does that mean and how does that compare to an original or correct rifle? Are they mixmasters? Or how would one differentiate between an "early rebuild" and a "late rebuild"? What would be the difference between an "early rebuild" and a "late rebuild"? Are "early rebuilds" mixmasters using early parts only?

Beautiful rifles, very nice heelstamps.

Man, that one stick is pretty fancy.
Is the Parkerize colour on that light green because it's a zinc based? Saw that mentioned in another thread once and wanted to know for sure as I never asked there. I've seen Carbines that were redone way after the war that look similar to that.
