There is a characteristic of K dates that does not appear to be evident on this piece. In exactly the area that John circled there is a "bruse" or what looks like a shallow dent or depression on each side of the receiver on the edge of the receiver just above the barrel. It either does not show up in the photo, has been polished out, or never existed in the first place. In this case, the edge is too sharp.
