Does anyone know what serial numbering convention was used by the A/H Army when they completed a full cycle through the alphabet, 1A through 9999Z, and had to start all over again in the same production year? Assuming that rifles were marked in some way to indicate this, what was that marking convention? I've noticed punch marks to the right of the numbers on some rifles, and recently noticed that when such a punch mark appears on a receiver, it is also carried over to its barrel and stock. Might this be the second-cycle-through-the-alphabet indicator? Regards,John
