Carkrazy, that looks like a upsidedown flaming bomb.
Welcome to the forums and thank you for sharing! Rear heal of receiver looks like it may have had something removed, might just be the picture. *edit to add* that is a very late into the second serial block IP. We would love to see some more pictures!

My IP 3230214 appears to have a faint 3 in a circle on the right side, a 3 with no circle on the left side and also import marking on the underside of the 5-43 barrel.

CAI ST .A. VT
Century Arms Inc St Albans Vermont The 3 is what i am interested in. It is believed a foreign country put that mark on. The CAI might be a lead where they came in from. Scott, shoot the pics to me and i will size and post |

Is the second mark an import stamp? If so, why would they mark it twice? Thought they wanted to mark it as little and as small as possible?

   Here's a few pictures of mine, it's a 3/43 Underwood which should be correct and original to the receiver. And thanks to Scott for chiming in, hope he can tell us what import stamp is on his. Chris |

Think you can post a pic as well as the import mark.

I have an early Rock-ola 1670xxx with the same stamped 3 in the same position as the OP's . This Rock-ola also has an import marked barrel .

Well, I'm leaning toward a import marking of some sort, BUT if that's the case, wouldn't we see it on other manufactured receivers as well ? I missed NL 174 altogether [ thanks Dan ] Maybe someone else has another one. In any case here's another one for the archives.

"Newsletter 374 shows that late in the 1.7 block (of IP production) and the 3.2 range a 3 shows up. No mention of a circle."
CLARIFICATION: Newsletter 374 states "....the number "3" came into use, marked on the LEFT side of the receiver." I have never seen a 3 inside-a-circle stamp on the right side. |

We are talking two different things here. There are marks observed on the rear right of IP receivers. First there were M2 then M4, Which sometimes looks like a I4 due to partial stamp. these two marks are only seen in the 1.7 range.
Newsletter 374 shows that late in the 1.7 block (of IP production) and the 3.2 range a 3 shows up (edit to add "on the left side"). No mention of a circle. CCNL 372-19 has information about the 3 in circle that Welby mentions. If anyone has one of the 3 in circle on heel please let us know.  They do look similar. I would need a better picture to compare.  |

The IP manufacturer update by Chris Albright CCNL 374 mentions the marking. Was I believe late first serial block and the second block.
