well its not a SRS hit
Thanks all I found Dr. Frascas charts and they seem to agree on 1879 for this rifle (i think)
Thanks Dick, that says alot I was using this chart I found online to date the serial number 118328 to year of manufacture48191 which would be 1879 Does anyone know if this is accurate ?
Dick
Im confused so if it was made in 1879 it might not have a cartouche? The rifle is being shipped so I haven't laid hands on it ,just paid for it and anxiously waiting.
Can anyone tell me what the cartouche should be on this rifle 118328 I believe it should have been made in 1879 ???
