I inherited a Mod 06 from my Gramps many years ago. Ser 733855, Short, Long and Long Rifle. Stock is dinged up but still shoots like a dream.Mfg’d around 1926 would be my guess. Am I close? Thank You
Steve,
December 8th 1926 to be precise.
Thanks for posting it,

If I understand this correctly, you have the back half of the rifle with s/n 807934 with, and barrel assembly 807875 (22 Short Stainless Steel). LS&B sold the opposite halves, also with a 22 Short Stainless Steel barrel. In summary both 807875 and 807934 when complete were 22 Shorts each with a Stainless Steel barrel.

Yes that is correct
Thanks… that makes it easier to document them in the survey.
Did you try tracking down the LS&B auction buyer? In your shoes, that would be my goal… to reunite the mismatched halves.

I haven’t tried yet but I will. I recently acquired this firearm and was surprised when a internet search of the serial numbers located the LS&B auction listing.
