Dwight, Thanks for your input. First, I must apologize, where I typed "breechblock" above should read "sear bar". Mr. Garrison, as well as others, brought up the apparent "rules" about dating the receivers, but how the heck can one explain "q" suffix with these guns, not to mention the notched receiver, which only appeared on the 1917-1918 models. They had to be later rebuilds.
