I have a nice clean gun, basic model no checkering.
The barrel has a code of TRR 3. at first I thought it was Nov. 1948 but then I read that the trailing 3 means it went back to the factory on that date, correct?
The bottom of the barrel, directly in front of the forend is stamped 105384. Serial number charts say this would be a 1950 gun but obviously that would be wrong if it went back in 1948.
Some other clues, it has a steel buttplate, looks original, brass magazine tube, and the barrel is stamped...
