Early Buffalo Arms Barrels

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'm replying to my original post which seems to have been corrupted somehow and unreadable. Hope this one goes through OK.

I have a QHMC carbine from the 1^st
serial number block, # 1,632,XXX.  I have
reviewed CCNL 334 and all parts seem appropriate for this carbine.  It has an undated Buffalo Arms barrel with
the sideways BA marking as shown. CCNL 84 describes the various ways Buffalo
Arms marked their barrels and this BA is listed as "used on the earliest
production barrels and has shown up on Saginaw Grand Rapids carbines".  I’d be very interested to know from the
submitted Data Sheets what the earliest serial number of a QHMC is with this
early BA marking?  I am in the process of
submitting a data sheet on this carbine and wonder how many other BA barrels
are out there.  Anyone else have one on an
early QHMC to report?

	CCNL 335 also mentions a BA barrel from when the club was at the CMP. When you send in your data sheet include a note requesting the information and I am sure it will be followed up.

	Thank you Dan. Just read BA mention in CCNL# 335 as you suggested. I'll do as you say and maybe I'll find out if any more are out there on early QHMC carbines. Jim
