Posted Tuesday at 7:46 PM Does the lower receiver serial number match? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Wednesday at 2:06 AM The upper and lower are both stamped "249". See picture. I assume that is the matching assembly number. The actual serial of the receiver is M6813. I do see M6813 on the bolt release lever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Wednesday at 3:18 PM The serial number on the lower is stamped or engraved at the top of the back end of the lower directly above the front of the butt. may I have a picture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted Wednesday at 6:42 PM No, not exactly. The back of the lower where it pins to the upper should have a number which matches. The number you pictured is, I believe, the issue number for the country that at some point issued it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
