Serial No. dates to 1932.
Depths of the Great Depression.
I went with the date and originality over finish.
My kind of gun.
I will, however, need to get a Lyman No. 2 in order to get any accuracy.
Got it at Cabelas.

Nice, honest carbine. A pleasure to admire.

Nothing wrong with that rifle at all. I have a few like it that I use to hunt hogs with on my ranch here in Texas. Best part. I can lay them down and not have to worry much about harming them like my really nice rifles. Enjoy it and have fun.

What is the serial number (so that I can add it to my research survey)?

Plain maybe but it looks like one of the “transitional” carbines.

We have no serial number on it to see if it is a "transitional". Sure looks like one. I have a 99%er in my collection # 1100457, PR dated 1-25-1936. Has the 22-E rear sight with the 1927 date. Also, has a mag. tube from an earlier SRC from the factory. One of the nicest carbines I own. Big Larry

It is an early transitional, through the PR in July of 1932.

I would have thought that it be top early to have the slot for the hood.

The non-slotted ramp sights are in a very tight serial number range (1086500 – 1086811).
