Probably the order number Rich.

Good catch, Dean. 17,640 is the order number range of guns in the 30,000 era. The serial number on the barrels would be on the left side of the barrel lug on a three lug top action gun. In my opinion, the barrels will match. Six pounds, two ounces, wow.

[Richard Flanders]

Thanks Dean. I thought that was a possibility also. I've not even handled a gun with an order number on the bbls. Still a newb here. This gun deserves a restoration. Look forward to seeing someone get ahold of it and taking it on. Absolutely amazing what comes out of the weeds, eh?

I'm guessing by the apparent alien abduction of the OP, that the weed whacker has performed it's function!

alrighty..... I took apart the screws that i could get out without damaging them and lightly cleaned some of it. the previous owner attempted to dis assemble it with no success.... anyway.....
also, i had the hammers off and on the inside they are serialed to match...

anymore shots or angles? questions or what?

well?

[johnmac]

does anyone see a chance for restoration here?

These are not really my "cup of tea" like i said, I'm strictly a mil-surp guy.

I was thinking about putting it up on GB.... any ideas?
