Dont forget to look at the internal parts as well, the hold open device and the firing pin should have the same numbers. Look for numbers on parts that are nicely done, not overly large, not tilted, and the same font as the rest of the gun. Be overly suspicous of matching magazines, there just arent too many of those out there that are correct, MANY have had the old number ground off and poorly restamped. As RK mentione, if you are only paying $500 or less for the gun and it is in good shape, chances are it has some mismatched or renumbered parts, but at that price I dont think it is a bad thing.
