The "mays" are in abundance.

Three (3) "mays" in a three hundred thirty-three (333) word discourse constitute "abundance"? Interesting.

JB? what do you think about the Hatcher hole??

On 3 January 1938, Springfield Armory requested authorization from the Chief of Ordnance to vent bolts and receivers during overhaul. Their request was promptly approved. The subject 1931 NM receiver, therefore, should correctly have had the Hatcher Hole added when it was re-barreled several months later.

Hope this helps.
