An old battler in the 36000 serial number range that probably went through several rebuilds, and finally ended up with FED. ORD. INC. on it's right receiver leg.

Thanks for posting your extra wide rib receiver, there are only around 12 known that have
surfaced over the past 15 years. They are all in the 36K to 45K serial number range. Unknown
as to the reason - lost in time - . Mine came from the CMP auction years ago and is still
without the 7th round correction, it is serial number 42593. Here are some photosdscn0724_0016.jpgdscn0721_0018.jpgdscn0722_0017.jpg
Are there any other owners of M1 Rifles with receivers with that extra wide rib on the left side ? If so please post
as I am keeping data on these rare receivers
