How to recognize a M6 USA verses a Peru model?


Recommended Posts

Just a guess: Inventory control by dummies.

Some of the parts in my Reising are stamped with numbers. The numbers correspond to the item numbers or the parts in the assembly drawing. Entirely conceivable that Ingram did the same thing, especially considering that his employees may have been less experienced than H&R's

 

You really need to pick up a copy of Frank Iannamico's book Mac Man. I'm guessing that if it's as informative as his books on the Reising and the S&W 76 are that a lot of your questions are answered in it

#4 is listed as the recoil spring in the manual.

 

That Mac Man book contains a host of valuable information and is well worth the money. It's not just the M6 info that is valuable, but as you start off in the class three world there is no way to navigate about without bumping into other MAC firearms at some point? You may as well educate yourself right off the bat. Had the book been out sooner I could have used that knowledge to make better informed buying/collecting decisions over the course of the years. I guess advice to guys getting into the hobby I'd recommend starting out filling a library first, before a collection.

My reference library has saved me a LOT of money and gotten me into higher quality guns than I otherwise would have bought without the references.

This is a great place to come for info, but you're not going get hundreds of pages of info typed out in posts.

The gun here presumably coming from the same lot has no stamping like that, but is also a much higher serial #. Also possible the subcontractor that made the parts stamped them, maybe when they were flat? HTH
