tom silver Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I read somewhere that a Peruvian M6 had a certain marking near the trigger. Does anyone know how to tell the difference. This photo shows something to the right of the trigger. Not sure if a mark, star, or number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villafuego Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 The only photo I've seen of a Peruvian gun shows their crest engraved along the top of the receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom silver Posted December 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 VillafuegoThe photo is the M6 I purchased from a auction that will ship soon. Do you see a marking on the photo I posted to the right of the trigger on the metal part (receiver)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Looks like a 4 stamped upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Iannamico Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Images from Chapter 2, pages 47-52 MAC MAN book. Most if, no all, Peruvian Model 6 subguns were the Military model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom silver Posted December 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 thanks and I wonder why this M6 would have an upside down 4??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) 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 Edited December 25, 2020 by StrangeRanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom silver Posted December 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Thanks Johnonlmg41. I ordered the book. The serial number looks like 3 digits but really their is a 1 in front of the numbers. It's 122. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
