Stamping help
Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2019 10:40 pm
After taking my rifle completely apart, I was delighted to find the wood and barrel in fantastic condition. I was less delighted to find fresh stamping on the bottom of my mechanism, and now I'm just confused. On the bottom of my whole chamber assembly is stamped:
6.5x55 MM
M/1912
CU INC
OMAHA NE
My barrel happens to be in superb shape inside and out, which led me to think this may be some sort of refurbishing company? Any attempt I make to research the company comes up with nothing. After this, I found another set of stamped characters, these looking original, that included the letter F, followed by a counterclockwise swastik symbol, and then either a letter I or a number 1. Below this is the number 16. Any information on any of these marks will be greatly appreciated, and I will include images of both sets!
