Can you post a photo of the receiver heel? Or can you send me a photo by e-mail? leeace99@hotmail.com
If the receiver has a selector lug, is there an ATF Form 1, 3, 4, or 5 associated with it? Is this a rifle on loan to a law enforcement agency through the 1033 program?
Some additional background information, the government Springfield Armory did not place a leading zero on M14 rifle serial numbers. Neither did the government Springfield Armory place a hyphen in the model number. The government Springfield Armory receivers were marked with the model number "M14." USGI M14 rifle serial number 61XXX was produced by Harrington & Richardson Arms Co.
I don't know about the selector lug but looking closer at the rifle maybe it was a light strike when they marked the reciever??? Might say M-1A...but it sure looks like M-14
A real M14 would have a center dismount notch for the op rod on the receiver rail. Commercial receivers have the op rod dismount notch near the rear sight, as on the M1 Garand.
