What does the letter suffix at the end of a serial number mean? Just acquired one with the letter B at the end. Wayne Spears, aka Wormey

Wayne,
I’ve been trying to figure that one out and the only information I have seen so far was it was a minor mechanical change.

Thanks Bob. Opinions on this are all over the place. I knew someone here would have the answer. Yours is gospel as far as I`m concerned.

Bob, have you ever been able to compare A vs. B or B vs. no mark and been able to tell any differences mechanically?

I have an idea on the A and have to check more guns to know for sure and the B I will have to take apart some guns. I hope to get it figured out before I write a article about my research.
