Anyone care to speculate on this ? What's with the "Q" in the serial number and the 5 on the magwell ?

I have seen that type of pitting before on aluminum that was buried for a few years. I have no idea why there is a "Q" in the serial number.

Looks like a "0" with some damage making it appear to be a "Q" to me, what 5 are you talking about?
ETA, I see the 5 now. The only thing that's original is the lower.

I'll second being a zero with damage that makes it look like a Q. What's going on here, last week it was thought that legal partial fence RR's were hens teeth and in 5 days we have 3 show up! |

I think you guys are right, looks like a zero now that I look at it. The pitting is strange. Like a bad casting.
SAR magazine had an article called "The Missing Link" about these transition Model 01 lowers. I wish I could find it. |

That is a 1965 production commercial lower. It was probably a 614 police gun looks like near saltwater.

ditto with everyone else that the Q is an 0 with pitting.
Poor refinish job. 5 could well be a rack number. Could be a poorly maintained Police rifle with new parts, a rewelded Mil scrap receiver that was not final finished, or someone's military bringback that was "buried" and registered by a CL2 or on a form 1 by someone. A FOIA would tell the BATF history on it..........................but Lamar usually runs into some unusual MG's in his neck of the woods.................................. |

Commercial or export model, it doesn't have the US property markings.
