Kocapuff1 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Very nice! Great Job! How did you do the line-up mark on receiver/barrel? Did you make the JHB Stamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Why are the serial numbers bunched up? The 1922 patent dates would be for a serial number above 14,500. The later style select fire and safety markings would be for a serial number above 2900. Edited March 21, 2015 by Arthur Fliegenheimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARK2112 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) I cnc machined the JHB stamp,didnt know about the later patent dates and the 2xxx numbers...damn it.the serial numbers look thicker because of the white paint.charecter height came from print drawings in tracies book.i used the serial number from one of the valentines day guns.

MARK2112 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Cant wait to get my new wood from dan,that should be the cherry on the top.and a pre war drum Edited April 7, 2015 by MARK2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunhistorian Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 NO, NO, NO! Don't weather it! It looks like it just came off the production line and the white lettering makes the piece look very, very sharp. IMHO, weathering it would not jibe with the lettering. The work put in on the piece really deserves to be shown as a "mint" TSMG. Of course, it IS your choice, but I'd go with the pristine look as a tribute both to your work and the work of the superb craftsmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
