  • All of our Firing Range carbines had been through the rebuild program - some more than once. Most of them had been rebuilt at facilities in the United States and therfore bore stampings as illustrated above. The remainder were not stamped indicating they had been rebuilt at overseas Depots - it is possible some had stocks replaced during an overeas Depot rebuild in which case any original rebuild stampings would have been lost.
