SRS request and frozen rear sight question

[John Beard]

Thanks to all for the very helpful replies. A more thorough examination of the stock revealed a rack number just forward of the buttplate; perhaps a service rifle after all...

A rack number is indeed a strong indication of a service rifle. Thanks for pointing that out. As I mentioned, sales rifle serial numbers abruptly end about 1,500 rifles before your rifle. Of course, they resume later.

And I am pleased to learn that your rear sight has been loosened.

Sharp.

Does the trigger have a "sharp" or "blunt" bottom tip?

The bottom tip is sharp

[Rick the Librarian]

That is an "early"-type trigger. A good possibility it is original to the rifle.
