Mark,
Does #1252 have a Savage Barrel? Checking on accuracy of GH's periodical.

My West Hurleys all serial# 1070.
.45 FA 1977, .45 SA 1975, .22FA 1981, .22 SA 1978 and .45 pistol unsure of the year as it does not have the P suffix.
A freind Just picked up a westie M1 # M168A, First year production 1985.
There you have it.

Yes, Gordon is accurate that 1252 has a thin-finned Savage barrel. I have a Colt barrel for it, but I have been in no hurry to swap it out.

WH 28 2632A, First of the last in 86
Savage M1 10956
Savage M1 259993
Is this a sneaky way to get us to register our toys?
Oh and I have the cut receiver for M1 2998, probably from the first couple days of prod.

Nope. Just wondering how low some of the registered numbers were. All I have seen were in the 100000+ range for the M1's and in the 20000+ for the WWII era guns. The 21's I lnew of a couple low numbers, but not many.

Two years ago I restored a Colt Thompson in the 50 to 60 serial number range. (I won't post the exact number without the customers permission.)
