Almost As Bad As Kamala Harris' Word Salads!

I pulled an image off of the internet of the front of the magazine of a sporterized Krag rifle. I have never seen this many assembler's stampings on a Krag magazine before. There are usually a few there but this sure stumps me as to what was going on. Word, or "letter", salad sure fits.

It must have been a slow week at Springfield Armory with a need to "make work".
That is a pretty bizarre collection of stamps.
The letters on the front of the 'magazine-gate' appear unusual too.
Maybe, they ran out of room on the receiver?
It would be a rare event, to have a week go by on the KCA, without a U.S. Krag 'head scratcher'.

Is the color a function of the photo/camera pic? Or is it the color of the Krag receiver? The color is about right for what we called "Krag purple" back in the '50s and '60s.

Maybe the new guy in the stamping department, left unsupervised, practicing?
