It wasn't unusal for an action/frame to be declared to not meet spec's when it did. These were to be taken to the old crusher/drop hammer and desposed of. There wasn't any record kept at that point and the serial # was erased from record. Somehow or another, that frame got lost in transit to the crusher. Parts were gotten from parts inventory on the side and a few bucks could get an action fitted up. All the rest filtered out in various ways. FWIW, Ken
