On the right side of stock just behind where the cut out is for the safety there is a 1" wide x 1/2" tall scribed outline of a box with the initials FJA in it is that the guy who inspected it? From what i can find in 1944 smith corona serial numbers ran from 4708000 - 4992000 my numbers falls in between. thanks for the info, some crack head at a gun show 1 time give me all wrong info.

Frank J Atwood was the inspector. Yeah, I had seen a Westinghouse Mosin at a gun show and they said it was a Russian Mosin, it is all part of the experience!

Get away from Miami and go to Joplin, I44 Stop, you can make friends in low places.

Picked up my Rock Island SG yesterday and talked to my FFL gal, she said gun sales have really slowed down and has been slow for months! Lower prices will be on the way, I heard prices could come down as much as 600%!

I have a winchester 32-20, its a model 89 or 98

I checked the rifle today and it has model 1892 on the tang, and a serial number check was made in 1911. I gotta start writing stuff down

While that’s a whole other topic, I agree 100%. Even this last one at Brown. Perhaps just a “little” security on the doors (either locked and opened with student ID or staffed by Brown University PD as it was a special Saturday mid-terms study session) AND some type of camera monitoring. I know we’ve had long discussions about camera surveillance here, but I think a college campus (especially with all the violent protests lately, would be a no brainer.

Not sure which talking head mentioned it yesterday, but apparently Brown University used to have over 800 cameras placed for security. Some PhD student used that as a basis for a research project (complaining about the overuse of surveillance), so they removed most of them. Probably shouldn’t base security protocols on student whims.

And, of course, none of that even takes into account what sort of mental deficiency allows someone to just start blasting innocents. No doubt the psychological will always be debated, but physical security is sure cut and dry.

And no one should be under the misconception that guns are the problem. Even with zero guns available, a determined psychotic individual has many other means to kill just as many victims “for their cause”.

Yes, it is a different topic, but one that is certainly top of mind these days. It seems just another issue with (mainly) two sides in their bunkers. For the 2A folks, it seems clear there is some low-hanging fruit (e.g., improved physical security, improved surveillance, improved access control, and improved mental health care - that doesn't involve enabling disturbed individuals through consolation instead of appropriate treatments and allowing them to roam our cities when caregivers know there is a potential for bad behavior) that could help mitigate - if not eliminate - a lot of the campus (and other location) shootings. However, the anti-gun lobby and their adherents have this single minded (and largely impossible, at least in the USA) idea that "if we just take all the guns" no one can shoot anyone.

Apologies for diving down this particular rabbit hole!

Merry Christmas to all

I could probably pay off my wife's car with the dollars those three represent
