Lancer Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I was reading about the prototype Stainless Steel M1's made at the Bridgeport plant in the 40's in Tracie Hill's book today. There were supposedly 6 made. Serial #002 is pictured in the book and is/was owned by William Douglas. Does any one know if any of the other 5 survived?
