Quoted:
I looked in the database section and found 1 entry of a '76 with no markings on the FSB, but all others entries for years before and after had some type of forgings/markings on the FSB. As such I am a bit confused. I am looking to buy this rifle that is purported to be all original. Can you all tell me if its possible or likely that a 1976 SP1 rifle had no markings on the FSB? All the other markings/stamps/forgings check out, its just the FSB that has me scratching my head. Thanks for any info you can provide. Tall I am not sure about a 1976 SP1, but my 1977 SP1 does have markings on the FSB. There is a "C" on the right side where the drain hole is and there is a "M" on the right side of the gas port. This coincides with the "C M" on the upper. The barrel is marked "C MP CHROME BORE". |

Thanks. Still trying to get some more feedback whether or not this is an original configuration (no Forge marks on FSB).

My 1975 SP1 has a "C" on the right side above the drain hole and and the Bell on the right side of the gas port. My barrel is marked "C MP Chrome Bore" as well.
Mine is in the 50,XXX range, so I do not have the "C" "M" marking on the right side of my upper receiver, |

one last bump
Anyone else? Does the fact it has no forge marks on the FSB rule it out from being original? THX |

I've seen the forge marks so vague that they almost look non existant.
I think it was from using the frorge die so long that it got worn out. Pics would help a bunch and +2 on the barrel markings. |

I've seen some where the bell and c are very hard to see, they don't rise up much from the surface. Do you have pics? You can shine a flashlight on it from different sides to help show the contours.
