Looking for other stuff, I found this rifle which might be of interest. With my poor memory, I have to look for stuff more often--it is like finding a new treasure.
It would appear that there was a damaged receiver that was scrapped and a new 1955 dated replacement fitted reusing the old WWII serial number.
