Were they doing that micro- groove thing yet when that was made?

Well, I have several 39As so I'm not sure. I'll have to look tomorrow. I think it's a 1967 mfg date so it probably is pre micro-groove but I'll double check to make sure.

'67 would be pre-plated 22LR so I'm not sure why the old ballard rifling would be more accurate with plated pills. Then again, all three are very accurate but this one is insanely accurate.

That little levermatic that I mentioned doesn't even have serial number, so I guess they had started doing this even back as early as the late 50s?

Always great when you snag one of those standouts. My old Colt AR is like that. You couldn't ask for better and it feels like an old pair of shoes.
Also Scrooster, if I haven't already said it, it's good to have you back, I wondered about you for a while. Ooh frickin Rah!
