renovate7 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Looked at a Model 55 with an S stamped next to the P proof on the back of the barrel. What does the S stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Thought to be a US military inspectors stamp. There is a thread regarding these stamps.http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8879&hl=%2Breceiver+%2Bmarking&do=findComment&comment=75719 Going by me memory I believe my Model 50 has a "M" next to the proof "P" stamp.

renovate7 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the replies. I also saw that in Frank's book. I wonder when it was put on, at H&R or later. Surprised their is not any kind of cartouches on the stocks, most military guns have one. Edited January 1, 2015 by renovate7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc280 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 My Model 60 also has the P, followed by a light struck S, on the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
