sure.  maybe a little early but can you confirm if the upper is a M VP S 12 barrel?  forged or cast fsb?  square pad ejection port door with the angled detent housing right?

on the fire control group, is it a C/E hammer that has the tail ground down?  any markings on the disconnector/trigger?

I have one in the very low 1800's. It was rescued from a California owner who had to stash the lower out of state and put a bullet button on it for years until I was able to buy everything from him and reassemble it in its factory configuration.  He even saved the original mag release.  I posted a number of photos here.

I have 1845 if that's close enough for you.

I will have to break it out but am on my week of working 12s straight so if you give me a bit I can get you whatever you need to know.

Best as I can see, there's no marking on the trigger.  The hammer is below--the other side is smooth, but you can see the very faint circular mark. There is nothing else to show.

thanks.  interesting that some parts that were marked later went unmarked before the number in a C mark.
