Hello,
I recently went to an auction which I found out about last minute by my wife. By luck, I was able to score SA M1 Grand in .308. The serial number dates the receiver at Late 1943 to early 1944. When I got the gun home and had a chance to look it over it has some interesting features or lack of. The stock is in beautiful condition but does look old. No cartouches can be found anywhere. The barrel is Kreiger in .308 30 11. When I took the gun apart to clean the area around the receiver where the action goes has a hard dark brown material paste on the gun. The material seems to be for bedding the action maybe? It does have a white plastic block in action to prevent loading of .308. How can I go about figuring out what type of gun this is or who may have built it? Appreciate any advice or input.
Parts:
1. SA M1 30 Cal. Serial number 2,486,8xx, right side receiver #AS8 D2829 32D
2.Kreiger Barrel .308 _30 11 mark on barrel. CA 15349
3. Trigger D28290-14-SA
4. Stock - Insude channel of stock under barrel written in white clearly 215 and another spot 204.
5. Bolt top left side: 028287 12 SA
6. Back site: NM 2A, left side dial: left left CPR NM. The front site is not marked.
