In regard to crossed out serial numbers, I have a shooter with a 1938 barrel and receiver both originally numbered 213. But on the receiver 213 is overstruck with something that looks like this: /</<. Above the overstruck SN# a new number 4162 has been added.

Does this sound like a Russian capture? Why would anyone bother to assign a new SN#? Or did the Russians assign a block of numbers to captured weapons to make inventory easier for them?

Not trying to hijaak your thread Bob, just interested in that twist that was mentioned earlier. Hope to see pictures of yours!
