Congrats! I can't think of a better way to start a first build than with a free lower, a homegrown one at that! Thanks for running this give-away Michiana.
Didn't mean to mislead you Michiana, I'm not a stocking dealer but like many others here stock surplus/excess parts for future projects. I was just throwing in my thoughts in regards to a possible group purchase.
Now, how does one enter this drawing for a DM lower you're putting together? :)
Is there a name engraved/stamped on the top barrel flat in front of the flash pan? You may have to take out into strong sunlight and view from all angles.
You can also check your local library for reference books on PA/KY rifles to compare photos etc. One author I have is Henry J...
Interesting thread. I would seriously consider stocking another lower, especially one home grown, providing something INGO or Hoosier related is stamped. That huge DM in old script would have to go though, something much more discreet would be desireable.
