jim c 351 Posted April 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Alan,Well it seems that a knowledgeable person is not appearing to answer your question.Like I told Sandy, the knowledgeable BAR people seems to have abandoned this forum long ago.I can confirm that the Colt Archive service is no help, already tried them.In Jim Ballou's book, a Colt archivist named Dick Baker is credited with searching the Colt royalty files and provided the information I listed above.Have no idea who Dick Baker is and whether he is still alive.Sorry no one can answer your question.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanDavid Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks Jim. Will see if I can track down where the Colt Royalty Files are located. Regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelkih Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Wow. That's neat! I didn't even know there was a 1919 "BAR". I have a Colt AMR too, but it's labeled 1918 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c 351 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) My Form 4 arrived last Thursday the 19th. I cleaned, lubed and switched some parts and on Sunday I zeroed the sights, firing semiauto. The buttstock was made by "deerslayer" and the display stand was made by "Sandman". Should be all set to knock down plates on Aug 5 th. Jim C Edited July 23, 2018 by jim c 351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim c 351 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Eric,Thanks, do you agree that it looks a lot better with the "deerslayer" butt stock, than the one it came with.For me, well worth the extra money.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
