AAM is the rebuild mark for Augusta Arsenal with the M being the inspectors initial. The P is a proof mark used by several original manufacturers. K carved in probably some GI marking his carbine. but we would need a picture to be sure. Cut and paste the link above to see more on post war rebuild. |

Cali, thank you for helping, and the following is not geared to you, just a general statement on picture posting and outside hosts. This is why we try to host our own pictures, to often someone searches and sadly the pic are gone. This sometimes takes a relevant post and makes it moot. In this case Imgur lasted less then a month.
