Looked at a rebuilt today struck me as kind of od that it had a 3 digit serial no , anything I can find says it shouldn't be can anybody fill me in on this .shouldn't they all be a 7 digit no

The following link talks a little about some of the three digit s/n's.

thanks thats exactly what I was looking for.

after looking at this link yes this carbine I looked at had a 3 digit serial no but the bolt was not electro penciled and didn't have the Bavarian stamped on receiver. IS this a re arsenald Bavarian maybe or Austrian? Other features include stamped rear sight and flat bolt . Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

after more digging pretty sure it came from james river armory
