Couple of interesting things to note. Like the two examples that Frank shows in his book, this is an AOC gun where the "A1" was added after the fact. My gun's serial number is only 10k earlier than the example shown on pg 119. This was as Frank explains due to problems with the excessive cycle rate of the early M1 guns produced at AOC's own startup plant in Bridgeport. By the time they got the problems fixed, the M1 was superceded by the M1A1 and so the "A1" was added.
"CCSO", which stands for "Clark County Sheriff's Office" is clearly evident but frankly not objectionable to me as it is done every neatly. The gun is suppossedly marked "SMG5" somewhere else.
The GHD cartouche is very sharp and distinct. The metal finish at least in this picture looks very good. I have no reason not to believe the rest of the gun looks as nice.
My Form 4 left for Chicago yesterday and now the long wait begins.
