REMINGTON SCOREMASTER BARREL MARKINGS

[JIMBOW]

SOMEONE HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE BARREL MARKING OF "AK" DESIGNATES THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF MARCH, 1941 AND THAT THE SYMBOL OF THE "ANCHOR" IS A FINAL INSPECTION STAMP. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO CONNECTION WITH A MILITARY CONTRACT. CAN ANYONE ELSE VERIFY THIS?

[JIMBOW]

THE MARKINGS ARE CLEARLY "AK". THE RIFLE IS STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A WEDDING GIFT TO MY FATHER (NOW DECEASED) FROM MY UNCLE (ALSO NOW DECEASED). IT WAS BRAND NEW WHEN GIVEN. MY FATHER WAS MARRIED IN JULY OF 1940. I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION IT WAS GIVEN PRIOR TO THE WEDDING. IT NOW APPEARS IT WAS GIVEN AS A POST-WEDDING GIFT. IF THE "AK" MARKING DEFINES THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE, THEN THE VERBAL FAMILY HISTORY OF THE RIFLE HAS JUST BEEN CHANGED. THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION!
