Has any discussion been done on thickness of the receiver, new, as opposed to scrubbed receiver thickness'?
I've seen many receivers that look like they've been milled quite a bit since new.
This is an Oval 974 arsenal imported by KFS that was scrubbed at least the one time. Second pic shows the previous SN.
As opposed to the Oval 974 imported by KFS. (Picture of
PowerSurge's rifle) Note that the Indexing mark and number have been milled off completely from receiver side.
This is another Oval 974 imported by, well..someplace in LA, CA. (more of that great electro-pencil engraving)
Here's a /156\ arsenal imported by KSI. (with the West Coast Rail) The barrel/receiver indexing marks and numbers are both still visible.
I don't have more examples out of the stocks right now, but the thought occured to me of possible original measurements of new receivers and the amounts of milled material from scrubbed receivers. This may be easier to measure on threaded barrel receivers than the pinned barrel counterparts? I wonder if anything could be gleaned from that?
