deerslayer Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Who made this? G stamps on both sides. Appears very well made. Anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 Dan, Looking at the what appears to be knurling on the cocking ears, I am going to guess this is a Numrich Arms or Auto-Ordnance West Hurley product. Can you tell if the actuator is milled or cast? If milled, could it be a WWII actuator that someone tried to add knurling too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted September 1 Author Report Share Posted September 1 It was milled. Checking was good. I don't have it anymore. Have never see "G" markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Isn't that a Savage "S" stamp in the cove? Looks like the Savage "S" stamp outside cove on known Savage actuator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Arthur, A great observation. That said, I have never seen a Savage actuator marked in that location. I have seen this same actuator in a Colt Thompson with a Numrich Arms barrel that was owned by J. Curtis Earl at one time. The checkering on the cocking ears appear homemade to me. I originally thought it may be a cast AOC West Hurley product. Dan solved that thought. Another Thompson mystery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted September 3 Author Report Share Posted September 3 Definitely a capital G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 Yes. The more pronounced mark in front of cove is a "G" but the more faded "S" at rear of cove demystifies the manufacturer. Perhaps the "G" is the mark of whomever did the knurling on knob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted September 3 Author Report Share Posted September 3 (edited) The rear one is definately a "G" also. Where do you see an "S"? Edited September 3 by deerslayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 In your first pic the rear "G" was ambiguous as TD agreed it looked like an "S." Your above pic clarifies the letter stamps as both being Gs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Could it have been something our departed friend, Gordon had done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
