Early Chatellerault. Keeps getting better.

Why weld over the cleanout hole?

I also found two "circle P marks" on the receiver that I found on Ted's site that confirm the Chatellerault receiver, one of them has a star over the P.

Thanks racerguy00.

The (p)'s are so small they're kind of hard to photograph.

So every receiver looks the same.

Great looking rifle where is everyone finding these exceptional specimens?

Sometimes it's just blind luck! But the more vigilant you are the better your chances get .

I once leaned against a table at a flea market, something jabbed me in the side and it was the barrel of a M28/30 sticking out over the edge of a table:) Yes I bought it, and I still have it, shot many rounds through it, and it shoots very well.

Thats great! Like it was asking to be taken home.

Lucky dog! What year is it?

Never bought a "gun" at a flea market!

I can't remember, but for some reason I seem to picture a 1935 on there, I have bought over 100 firearms at flea markets, most in the 80's and 90's, at one time it was common for me to see 50-60 milsurps alone, and be able to cherry pic what I wanted, now if I see one .22 rifle it's a good day.

Yeah, a very good day.

Last show I bought that Remington autoloader, and the H&R pump shotgun, that was a good show, but with what's been going on I suspect a dry summer for firearms of any kind.

Pic.s?

Guy's, I posted this on another forum and one member mentioned that he hadn't seen any "recapture dragoons", I don't believe I have either.

I'm guessing most of the recaptures are later production rifles anyone seen, know about or have pictures of earlier ones?

[racerguy00]

I saw one that was 'D' marked with no SA or 41 stamp so it may not have been one for sure. It was really 'iffy'. Late twenties date. That was 2 years ago or more. I'll try to see what I can find.

[desdem12]

That would be a find for sure. Who was it htat found the m91rv? Maybe he has one of those in that rotating rack...?

It's packed away right now and it would take too long to get it out and clean it off, I have a few other projects in the works just now. I am sorting the pics on photobucket, something that will take another 17 days, if I find the 28/30 pics I will post them

Could be, I'm pretty sure I heard him say there was nothing else left there but a crate full of hex receivers!!

Thanks TopperT! I'm glad you appreciate this one, I just lucked into it on an online sale.

Beats an auction almost anyday, except maybe when you can find those mismarked/mislabled pieces.
